Retro pulp cover for “Dawn of the Monsters” showing trolls, goblins, vampires, and more.

When the sun comes up…
the claws come out

Eleven tales of monsters, mayhem, and the gloriously improbable!

From trolls, goblins, and mad scientists to aliens, vampires, and one particularly nasty ex-girlfriend, Dawn of the Monsters delivers the best (and worst) that pulp has to offer. Some creatures are heroes. Some are villains. And some defy classification entirely—except under the heading very, very bad.

Step through mysterious laboratory doors, face down something dark beneath the earth, and follow the trail of a swamp-born horror that refuses to die. We promise nothing… except a wild, fast-paced ride straight into the teeth of adventure.

So grab your flashlight and your nerve—the monsters aren’t waiting for permission.
