Raves for Rage and Redemption in Alphabet City

“Amy Grech’s Rage and Redemption in Alphabet City is a remarkable collection of tales that tingle the spine and chill the soul. Dark and violent, these stories move back and forth from those passionate for life and those soon to be dispossessed of theirs, yet always showcase a writer at the top of her game.”

— Needle: A Magazine of Noir

“Amy Grech’s latest, Rage and Redemption in Alphabet City, is a blistering collection full of cruel turns and a wicked noirish tone. Grech is a consummate storyteller, and her skills are on rich display here. If you haven’t read her yet, you are in for a serious thrill.”

— Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning Author of Dead City and The Dead Won’t Die

NEW RELEASE: Hell’s Grannies, Kickass Tales of the Crone, Edited by April Grey

Aging is not for the faint-hearted, yet there is little choice in the matter. You can take good care of your health, your finances, your loved ones and still life will throw a curve ball.

In Hell’s Grannies, Kickass Tales of the Crone you will find tales of courage, of women who rise to the challenges of time in many different ways.

Some stories are of women aging gracefully but their tales are still kickass because they have a lot to overcome. Other stories are humorous, because if you can’t age gracefully, then by all means age disgracefully. Indeed humor may be the best tonic and part of the wisdom of the Crone.

Ten talented authors, including chapter members Alp Beck and Amy Grech, give their take on the theme of Grannies from Hell.

Happy Valentine’s Day from the HWA-NY!

Whether your heart is bleeding, tell-tale, missing, dead, or just plain delicious, we wish you a horror-ific Valentine’s Day!
