Homecoming Turns 1!

Posted on by Micah Castle

Homecoming, a small town cult horror book, turns one today! It doesn’t feel it has been a whole year since it’s release, that’s for sure. The book was the kick-start to my self-publishing journey, the first release of my own imprint, Anhedonia Press, and the cover art aesthetic set the trend for future releases through the press. If it hadn’t been rejected after making the short list for the Split Scream series, none of this might’ve happened.

With Homecoming’s birthday, it reminds me that one year I’ve released two books besides it: The Companions We Lose, and Yearning For Imperfection. Between now and Homecoming’s second birthday, there’ll at least be three, maybe five, releases: Even Gods Can Die, The Six City of the Gloam, the Choose Your Own Horror collection (and CYOH #3 Patreon exclusive ebook, potential paperback), and, maybe, The Burden They Forgot. Synthwave Melancholy will likely come after June, 2027.

With all that being said, I’m glad this small horror book found some readers who enjoyed it, and I hope it will find more as time trudges on. Thank you for anyone for buying or reading it, it means a lot.

If you haven’t, you can read it on Kindle Unlimited or contact me directly for an ecopy.

HOMECOMING — OUT NOW!

Posted on by Micah Castle

HOMECOMING is out now through Anhedonia Press! You can purchase it on Amazon in ebook or paperback. It’s also available on Kindle Unlimited! You can find the blurb below.

“When the death of an old friend draws Jake back to the town he swore he’d never return to, a storm traps him inside his childhood home.

As memories best forgotten cloud his mind, he sees townsfolk in white robes gathered outside. They call for him to receive Her mark—to be one among them.

They won’t take no for an answer, and Jake quickly finds his only hope for escape is what he truly fears the most—the basement.

Homecoming is a claustrophobic and psychological descent into cult horror, ancestral terror, and the overwhelming dread of what’s below.“

Thank you so much to everyone who preordered and took the time to read it early and leave a review! And, special thanks to these supporters:
