This October, we will be showcasing New Zealand horror writers and cover artists on social media and beyond. We invite authors, cover artists, and readers to share their favourite NZ horror books and art using the hashtag #nzhorrorbooks


Aotearoa / New Zealand has a deep vein of dark stories running through it, and we want to spotlight some of the stories, authors and artists throughout the month.  From October 1st, we want to see a fantastic variety of New Zealand horror books and their cover art all over the interwebs!

 

Use the hashtag #nzhorrorbooks, to help spread the word! Feel free to tag me in your posts and stories so I can share them too. Find me on Instagram and Facebook.


A good place to start could be Remains to be Told: Dark Tales of Aotearoa from Clan Destine Press, and featuring a murderer’s row of Kiwi authors. Below is a handy list of Kiwi horror authors and artists - click their names to find put more about them and their works.
