Antarctic Press Summons Spooky Season Early with New Horror Anthology, Dead Man's Party
Antarctic Press is summoning some spooky season thrills early this year. The publisher just dropped its full September 2026 solicits, revealing a brand-new horror anthology, Dead Man's Party #1. Priced at a devilishly appropriate $6.66, this collection of terrifying tales promises 'Pin the Tail on the Human' and 'Bobbing for Adam's Apples.' It sets a decidedly dark tone just in time for October's Halloween festivities.
Beyond the ghoulish new entry, fans can expect continuing sagas. Critter #14 plunges into a high-tide crisis with new sidekick School Girl. The penultimate issue of Cryptid Corps #5 throws its team into chaos after an emergency crash landing. And Shaman Kane Resurrection #2 continues the interstellar exorcist's fight against the Z-plague, as Kane assembles a strike team to invade enemy territory. Antarctic Press is clearly gearing up for a packed autumn.

Catzye Take
What's interesting here is Antarctic Press leaning into the seasonal hype well in advance. Getting a horror anthology out in September with a specific Halloween theme and price point shows smart planning. Fans of indie horror and ongoing sci-fi adventures have a lot to look forward to this fall.
