You’ve found The Rotted Quill, the newsletter for the horror reader unafraid to explore the darkest recesses of the literary landscape for their next nightmare. 

And we’re going to scare the shit out of you.


The Books

We read the weird stuff. The gory stuff. The brutal and the bizarre. These are the deep cuts, the indie demons, the books written by the bloodiest brilliant minds spilling ink on the page every single day.

The Authors

Learn the stories behind the stories, from the artists who split open their own brains to find the words needed to pen your next nightmare. You’ll see their faces. You’ll hear their voices. You’ll meet their monsters. We celebrate the legends – and the legends to be. And some of them may be your very own neighbor.

The Newsletter

Every week, we’ll infect your mailbox with the latest releases, titles you may have overlooked, author and interview insights, and the putrid prose that deserves shelf space in your own coffin.

Don’t be afraid to let us in …
