Nightfire Announces Season 2 of Audio Horror Anthology Come Join Us By the Fire

Nightfire, Come Join Us By the Fire Volume 2

Last year, new horror imprint Nightfire released Come Join Us By the Fire, an audio-only anthology of horror shorts just right for October reading. Now, they’re doing it again with Come Join Us By the Fire Season 2! The new collection features 27 horror shorts, and will be available for free on Google Play Books starting October 15th. (That’s today!)

Season 2’s tales focus on the endless and complex ways horror manifests itself in stories. The collection includes never-before-published stories from Daniel M. Lavery, Laird Barron, Indrapramit Das, and Shawn Hamill, as well as work from award-winning writers including Seanan McGuire (Wayward Children series), Caitlín R. Kiernan (Agents of Dreamland), Cassandra Khaw (Nothing But Blackened Teeth), and Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Mexican Gothic)—as well as Nick Antosca’s “The Quiet Boy,” on which the upcoming film Antlers is based.

The Come Join Us By the Fire collections are intended to preview the breadth of talent writing in horror today—and to offer a teaser of what’s to come when Nightfire launches its first full slate of books next year. You can find the collection here.
