Introducing Feral Lands
Preorder the first horror anthology from Samak Press now.
Survival is wired into the DNA of every human being. We fear death as a species and will fight to our final breath to stay alive. Horror stories have a knack for testing a character’s ability to survive amid unspeakable and unimaginable circumstances.
Samak Press presents a new original horror anthology, Feral Lands, featuring eight scary stories from eight talented authors – all exploring survival on the fringes of modern civilization. Experience terror from treacherous mountain forests to the far reaches of outer space.
Here’s a glimpse at each story featured within the pages of Feral Lands —

A stranded hiker nursing an injured ankle learns that a monster from an old boy scout campfire tale is more than an urban legend in Scratcher by John Coon.
