The silence isn’t peace. It’s a warning—ignored too long.
When the world locked its doors, the monsters came out to play. Welcome to Quietus 13—thirteen moons, dozens of short, sharp shocks, and absolutely no guarantee of a happy ending.
What happens to the creatures lurking in the shadows when the streets fall silent and humanity hides behind closed doors? Quietus 13 is a macabre, darkly witty anthology capturing a year in lockdown—not just for us, but for every manner of supernatural fiend, cosmic horror, and immortal opportunist.
Across thirteen chilling lunar cycles, the writers of Black Hare Press imagine a world where vampires go hungry in a world without nightclubs, Cthulhu’s cultists are thwarted by social distancing, and the fae quietly lock their borders as humanity unravels. Plagues, ancient gods, rampaging monsters, and hungry ghosts all find themselves caught in the strange twilight of a pandemic-stricken world.
From sardonic takes on toilet roll hoarders to eerie, poignant meditations on loneliness and loss, this collection traverses the uncanny, the grotesque, and the downright absurd. Whether it’s Death’s own child unleashed on a quiet park, or a mermaid wishing for the extinction of humankind, Quietus 13 brings you stories as unsettling as the times that inspired them.
Lock the doors. Draw the curtains. And discover what really goes bump in the night when the world stands still.
