Hey Little Ghosts friends-

The Little Ghosts Monthly Newsletter just went up!
A collaborative effort on the part of our booksellers, the Little Ghosts newsletter is an announcement of upcoming events, an enthusiastic review of some recommended reads from our shelves, a musing about writing and craft, and thoughts from the small business side of the desk. This July instalment marks… our 19th newsletter!

If you like some long form content, we recommend this and some other great editorial and book review pieces that we’ve reposted on our page.

Link to the newsletter in the bio, sign up free and get it direct to your email inbox every time we post.

Happy Monthly Newsletter day!

This Friday, meet a long term friend of ghosts Marco for a signing of a shop favourite novella THE HAUNTING OF NICHOLAS CAGE!

Most men buy a sports car or get a tattoo during their midlife crisis –– Nicolas Cage bought the most haunted house in New Orleans. On the verge of bankruptcy, Nic sequesters himself inside the infamous LaLaurie Mansion in an effort to reinvent himself as a writer. But inspiration doesn’t come easy, and he soon finds himself getting more than he bargained for when his home’s dark past reaches into the present to claim his soul. Filled with macabre humor and existential terror, The Haunting of Nicolas Cage is an almost-true story about a man coming to terms with his fame and his fear.

You don’t want to miss this one!

Little Ghosts Book Club in July is reading THIS BOOK IS FULL OF SPIDERS Jason Pargin !

Join us for snacks and chats Friday July 24th 6pm-8pm for our monthly informal drop in book club.

From the writer of the cult sensation John Dies at the End comes another terrifying and hilarious tale of almost Armageddon at the hands of two hopeless heroes.

WARNING:

You may have a huge, invisible spider living in your skull. THIS IS NOT A METAPHOR.

You will dismiss this as ridiculous fear-mongering. Dismissing things as ridiculous fear-mongering is, in fact, the first symptom of parasitic spider infection — the creature secretes a chemical into the brain to stimulate skepticism, in order to prevent you from seeking a cure. That’s just as well, since the “cure” involves learning what a chainsaw tastes like.

You can’t feel the spider, because it controls your nerve endings. You can’t see it, because it decides what you see. You won’t even feel it when it breeds. And it will breed. So what happens when your family, friends and neighbors get mind-controlling skull spiders? We’re all about to find out.

Just stay calm, and remember that telling you about the spider situation is not the same as having caused it. I’m just the messenger. Even if I did sort of cause it.

Either way, I won’t hold it against you if you’re upset. I know that’s just the spider talking.

Great new Indie Horror on the shelves!

Curl up with a weird, bloody, spooky, funny little horror novella this summer and let the spine chilling vibes beat the heat. Which will you choose?

BLOODLETTING GO

GRIEF EATER
When Kristina rises as a zombie, she is rageful and powerful- ready to take her revenge even as her body begins to fail. A gory examination of q***r identity and found family.

DELETE ME KINDLY
Found fiction meets sci-fi horror in these corrupt files, corporate logs, and system reports about a grieving data technician unravelling inside the machine he helped to build.

B**G RIPPING BRIDES OF COUNT DROGADO
A bizarre, hallucinatory book about a homeless protagonist who stumbles into a detached and never ending party thrown my a mysterious count. Collecting coins from the dead in an avant-garde escape from the brides, at once bleak and exuberant.

Medieval Horror Restock!

Little Ghosts readers are feral for that goopy oozy weird uncomfortable knights and peasants and Christian missionary s**t. Y’know. Fire and brimstone and big castles and squelchy mud and swords and demons and monks and nuns. A nightmare through stained glass. That kinda dark literature, that should come from an illuminated manuscript.

Novels and anthologies? Yes yes we gotchu.

We had an absolute BLAST teaming up with Hopeless Romantic Books for almost 5 months of Union Station genre mash-up shenanigans!

We got to platform authors in an awesome historic space, build a new Little Ghost, and bring indie horror to a whole new crowd.

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who came to haunt us in the terminal underground. Our move out was a little bit “Exit 8” but we have arrived safe at the home store at 930 Dundas West and are whole again.

Come by to our beautiful store ABOVE GROUND and enjoy sunshine and patios with us once more. The books are scary but we like to think that we are not.

STICKERS!!

Little Ghosts pals are feral for our in-house designed, waterproof, UV resistant, locally printed vinyl stickers!

Cryptids, Ghosts, Witches, Cats, Bats, Grim Reapers, and all the freaky s**t in between. Chris ! is drawing up two new ones a month (but it doesn’t matter, because Biblically Accurate Pigeon is the obvious bestseller).

Monthly and Quarterly book subscriptions come with new stickers, but there is always Sticker Club for folks who just want the goods.

✨TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK✨

Did you know… Little Ghosts Books publishes 3-4 books a year?
That’s right! We’ve been publishing for a little over three years, a couple of novellas and an anthology or two per year.

This is no small feat! Between reading submission calls, editing, designing, and distributing, all hands are on deck for our little publishing house. Chris does our covers, dev edits, and formatting. Phi is our copy editor and checks in on timelines and scheduling. Sometimes we even have a little help from our friends! Thanks Lor Gislason most recently for jumping in for phi on their book (no one can copyedit themselves).

Our secret mission? We wanted our book spines to make a rainbow one day. In 2026 we will ACHIEVE OUR GOAL with the upcoming fall release of Nightmare Country Jason

Thanks so much to Dan Perry Brittni Greensleeves TT (Temple) Madden Elijah Madison McSweeney philip rowan for trusting us with your work (and even more short story authors who contributed to our anthologies).

Quick, Little Ghosts… what colour do you think NIGHTMARE COUNTRY will be?

New friends & old friends reading unhinged stories?! Always always always a treat!

Thanks so much to our authors Charlene Elsby Atlas Christopher Shorewick Shelley Lavigne Madison McSweeney for getting us all hot under the collar in a strange and supernatural way. Did y’all know that horror writers can crush some sexy stories?! We did 🖤👻😈
