Release Party for Dread Mondays and Author Signing with Whisper House Press Authors

From the fluorescent-lit boardroom to the desolate isolation of a lonely spacecraft, Dread Mondays collects stories transforming the abstraction of mundane repetition into tangible nightmares. Featuring Bram Stoker Award winners, ‘best of’ authors, and fresh voices from around the globe, this anthology, in three parts, exposes the horrors we working stiffs confront in pursuit of a paycheck. “Retail Hell” highlights some of the awful truths of customer service and its forced smiles. “Institutional Terror” explores the discomfort lurking in structured environments like libraries and schools. And “Corporate Nightmare” finds ambition, technology, and alienation birthing a perfect storm of horrific speculation—because sometimes, the quarterly reports are the least of your worries.

This international collection offers a chilling and darkly humorous exploration of workplaces, where the ordinary mutates grotesquely and each profession’s unique set of horrors is well-lit and impossible to ignore. Forget monsters under the bed: the real ones await you at your desk.

If you're looking for something fun and terrifying in the neighborhood of Halloween, drop by and kick back for an evening of short horror fiction. With over thirty works of spine tingling terror from various authors, Dread Mondays is sure to both terrify and delight. Although the final slate of authors is yet to be determined, some of the Whisper House Press authors will be on hand to read their stories and sign copies of the book. This event is free, open to the public, and will begin at 7:00 p.m.
