Dark Matter Presents: Haunted Reels will be published on July 25. We’ve also been told that Haunted Reels: Volume 2 is in the works. Stay tuned for more on that one.
The team previews, “In April 2020, the world faced imminent lock-down, so a group of filmmakers started a virtual support group. Once a week, these diverse voices would assemble to do what they do best: tell each other stories. Campfire horror tales, emotional cosmic mysteries, and anything else that either made them take their minds off what was happening to the world, or help them understand it. Haunted Reels is the best of those stories.”
Curated by Indie Spirit Award Nominated film producer, David Lawson Jr., this collection features brand-new stories written by some of the biggest and most creative names in film, TV, and video games, including C. Robert Cargill (Sinister, Dr. Strange, The Black Phone), Aaron Moorhead & Justin Benson (Something in the Dirt, Moon Knight, Loki), and Janina Gavankar (The Morning Show, God of War: Ragnarök, Horizon Zero Dawn, Tales of the Jedi).
“Working on this collection with all of the contributors and Dark Matter has been a dream come true,” remarked David Lawson Jr. “When we started getting together on zoom during lockdowns, I had no idea how special the group would become to my life. Publishing this collection with them is a real honor.”
“Haunted Reels is certain to be a crowd-pleasing collection,” added Rob Carroll, founder and publisher of Dark Matter. “David has found twenty-nine excellent stories for this one, a few of which rank among the best stories we’ve published so far at Dark Matter, including ‘Dead No Longer’ by Owen Egerton, ‘Natalie Fears Recurrence’ by B. J. Colangelo, and ‘Yeast’ by Lola Blanc.”
The book covers a wide range of genre fiction, from science fiction and horror, to alternate history and new weird, so there is sure to be something in here for every kind of reader and fan.
