“Cuthbert’s Creep This Way is part autobiography, part defense of horror, and part writer’s guide. Rather than tell you how to write horror, Cuthbert’s goal is to teach you the tips and tricks of being a horror writer in the 21st century. With chapters about social media and presentations, time management and writing goals, Cuthbert isn’t out to teach her readers how to write better work, but how to engage in all the other work of writing that isn’t creative. […] Cuthbert has expertise in both the non-genre world, the academic world, and the genre world, and this experience has been distilled into twenty-four manageable chapters for writers to explore.” -Joshua Gage, Cemetery Dance Online
Self-Made Monsters is a hybrid collection of feminist horror stories and poems, featuring titles like “The Cliffs at Battery Pointe,” “Lake Erie Omen,” and “Mistress Meg O’Malley.” Its introduction was written by Stoker Award-nominated horror author Laurel Hightower.
Some titles in the collection have earned accolades, like “Falling to Pieces,” which was originally published in Defunkt Magazine and was then selected by Neon Hemlock Press for its We’re Here: Best Queer Speculative Fiction 2022 anthology (2023); and the poem “No Rest Nor Relief For You With Me Dead,” published in the Shakespeare Unleased anthology by Crystal Lake Publishing and Monstrous Books, which is on the final ballot for a 2024 Bram Stoker Award from the Horror Writers Association.
Presales for signed copies of Self-Made Monsters will be open in July of 2024.

“Words are magic, and Rebecca Cuthbert is a sorcerer, conjuring beautiful, sometimes heartbreaking, images found in the quiet moments of women’s inner worlds. Her poetry captures life’s smallest moments and imbues them with immense meaning. A wonderful work.”
