POPLAR GROVE, Ill. - illiNews -- New Years brings a promise of new opportunities to make a better world. What if there were no more New Years? Coming on December 2nd, "No More New Years: Tales of Apocalypse" presents different visions of apocalypse, and a world with no more New Years.

"No More New Years" follows less than a month behind T.O.W.D.'s "Horrifying Holidays: Holiday Spookfest," which presented Christmas based horror. Like that book, "No More New Years" brings contemporary fiction, classic fiction. "No More New Years" includes two previously published, but modern, horror tales from Gary Hill, and one each from Heath D. Alberts, Adam R. Crump, Dustin Urness and Kevin Wood. Classic short stories from Edgar Allan Poe and Frank L. Pollack along with poems from Lord Byron (George Gordon), T. S. Eliot and Thomas Hood complete the book's content.

Founded in 2018, Poplar Grove based Tales of Wonder and Dread Publishing has released two-dozen books to date. All the T.O.W.D. books have a focus on science fiction, horror or generally macabre type subject matter. In addition to the previously mentioned "Horrifying Holidays," the most recent releases from T.O.W.D. to date were ""Relics, Remnants and Artifacts" (a collection of fiction and non-fiction works from Gary Hill) and "Spooky Stories," which is a collection that includes poetry, fiction and non-fiction. "Spooky Stories" not only includes modern works from Heath Alberts, Elizabeth Lynn Blackson, Frank Coffman, Ernie Fuhr, Stephan Osborne and Gary Hill, but also classics from writers like Robert Burns, H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe.
