For a while, I (Eric Raglin) was convinced I’d never edit another anthology, but sometimes the right theme comes at the right time. The thought of doing a surveillance horror and Weird fiction anthology grabbed me—and then felt all the more urgent at the height of ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis (Cursed Morsels’ home base).

Finally, the book is complete, and I’m damn proud of it. It’s a paranoid, strange, claustrophobic, feel-bad time of a book, and I know folks are gonna love it. Here’s a little preview:

A plague of eyes descends upon a fascist-occupied city. After a woman gets an illegal abortion, her period-tracking app threatens to turn her in. A government agent becomes dangerously obsessed with the person they're tracking. When a call center worker fails to meet her quotas, a mysterious entity vows to ruin her life.

Under a Malevolent Eye collects eight horror and Weird fiction stories that explore how our lives fall apart under inescapable surveillance. Featuring Meagan Kane, Charlene Elsby, Joe Koch, Cynthia Gómez, Briar Ripley Page, Eric Raglin, Zin E. Rocklyn, and Mae Murray.

On top of the incredible table of contents, check out the collage cover designed by Samir Sirk Morató (whose fantastic collection Gore Poetics we published this spring):

Samir’s talent repeatedly astounds me, and this cover is a perfect fit for the vibe of the anthology.

Also … preorders are now open! You can grab the paperback or ebook from our store, or anywhere else books are sold. But remember: buying directly from Cursed Morsels is the best way to support us! All orders will be fulfilled by August 18th, the book’s release date.

If you’re on a tight budget and open to reviewing the book, you can pick up a free digital copy on Booksirens. And if you’re a Goodreads user, you can add the book to your “want to read” list here.

That’s all for now! Stay paranoid, readers!
