The Dark Veil Society is a collective of independent horror authors united by a shared love for the eerie, the unsettling, and the unknown. Founded by a group of self-published writers, we are storytellers who breathe life into nightmares and find beauty in the macabre. Our mission is to craft tales that linger long after the last page, to champion the dark corners of fiction where others fear to tread, and to uplift the voices of fellow creators walking this shadowy path.
We believe horror is more than a genre—it’s a mirror to humanity’s deepest fears, a conduit for truth wrapped in the guise of monsters and madness. Within the Society, we celebrate each other's successes, offer feedback, provide support, and keep the fires of creativity burning bright. From bone-chilling novellas to full-length novels that explore terror in all its forms, we work together to ensure every member has the resources and encouragement to grow their unique voice.
The Dark Veil Society isn’t just a group—it’s a movement. As we build our presence and community, we look forward to future collaborations, anthologies, and shared nightmares that bear our name. If you write horror, read horror, or live for that delicious moment when the light flickers and the room goes silent, you’ve found your people. Step beyond the veil… we’ve been waiting.
Our authors get nothing but rave reviews from readers, booktokers, and booktubers alike.

In the spirit of Inside No. 9 this collection doesn't limit itself to try and be any one thing, so each new story could lead you anywhere. Body horror, gothic macabre and sci fi to name but a few are all present, all earn their place, and all leave their mark.

'Sledge vs. The Labyrinth' is a total freaking beast of a book. Nick Horvath comes out swinging with this one, and I’m here for it.

As an avid reader of horror, I'm always on the hunt for something new, something fresh. First time author Ryan Krone has brought that and then some, revealing wonders and nightmares in equal measure in this lean, taught collection of stories.
