We’re living in a loop. Things keep repeating. The eighties almost killed us, and now they’re back to finish the job.

Black Candies: The Eighties features 23 stories of analog horror that slice through the late-night whirr of VHS, the big hair, and neon parties to prove that nostalgia is the real murderer behind the mask.

Featuring stories by: Drew Andrews, Jake Arky, Aaron Burch, Michael Harris Cohen, Christopher J. Couchon, Terrell Fox, Kate Haas, Ryan Hicks, Henry Hoke, Lindsay Hunter, Sarah LaBrie, Dave Maass, Craig A. Oliver, Meghan Phillips, Rebecca Plymell, Isha Ro, Jim Ruland, Tiffany Scandal, Jessica Shannon, Jan Stinchcomb, Jason Teal, Maria Tiraboschi, and Alyssa N. Vaughn.

And original art by: Christina Collins, Julia Gualtieri, Melissa Gutierrez, Laura Gwynne, Carrie Anne Hudson, Vanessa Martinez, Andrew McGranahan, Mishanthrope, Carolyn Ramos, Carabella Sands, Bryan Tipton, Adam Vieyra, and Zack Wentz.

Edited by: Ryan Bradford and Julia Dixon Evans.
