Happy October 3, 2024
WELCOME TO THE DISCOUNTED POST-APOCALYPTIC AND DYSTOPIAN BOOKS PAGE OF TERRIFY YOUR TABLET 2024
As soon as the clocks roll into the early morning hours of Oct 3, we're opening the gates and allowing the ghosts and ghouls to roam! We hope your tablets are ready!
This Year's Charity
In 2023, Horrorsmith Publishing's Terrify Your Tablet event was able to earn over $1500 for fellow horror author Sammy Scott, who was diagnosed with stage 4 bile duct cancer last year. During this year's planning, we asked if anyone knew of a similar charity event, and until the last few days, we had not received any suggestions.
However, Hurricane Helene has changed that. Hurricane Helene decimated a large amount of Florida and North Carolina and parts of Tennessee. There are still missing residents, entire cities wiped from the map, houses still underwater, and millions of dollars of loss.
In 2022, Lyndsey Smith, CEO and Acquisitions Editor of Horrorsmith Publishing, moved from North Carolina, where her husband was stationed, to the Pacific Northwest, so this area is very near and dear to her heart. But a couple of our vendors, like horror coffee company Indigo Coffee, still has offices there. Its owners have been displaced, along with thousands of others.
This is our way of giving back, our way of putting one more drop in the bucket to go toward services and supplies to help get these Americans back on their feet after such a horrible disaster. All donations will go to those organizations with boots on the ground, helping with much needed services and supplies.

HOLE: A SMALL TOWN HORROR NOVEL
Seth Granger returns home from summer camp to find that there’s something wrong with the people in his small town. Even his dog is behaving strangely. His mother is distant and distracted, but she may have a very good reason: her husband, Seth’s abusive father, has been murdered and dismembered—and several of his limbs have gone missing.
This brutal murder is only the latest in a long line of strange occurrences in the tight-knit community. As Seth struggles to deal with the swirl of emotions raging inside him, the town seems to be destroying itself from the inside out.


UNDEAD ANNIHILATION
He thought he was at rock bottom. Then the world blew up. Now, he’s the only one that can save the city. But it may take more than he has to give . . .
Detective Kurt Weller has been framed, shamed, and beaten. And now he wakes up to the end of the world.
Bombs are dropping, and dead people are trying to eat him. But Weller just can’t seem to let go of the very human conspiracy that ruined his life before the world went to hell.
Lucky for him, the zombie apocalypse has brought out some other undead fiends — the kind that have been living off of humanity’s scraps for centuries.
When one of these abominations approaches Weller and offers to help him protect the city against the unholy horde of brain-dead zombies, he can’t say no.
As the two form an uneasy alliance, they face off against villains both human and supernatural as they fight to save the city. But their biggest threat could come from right under their noses . . .


Ella Minnow
After years of skinning monsters, he brings one in who reveals a dark secret about himself, and his volatile nature forces him to make a tragic mistake.
