IFWG Publishing has been waiting a long time to have the pleasure of announcing the world release of Spawn 2: More Weird Horror Tales About Pregnancy, Birth and Babies, edited by the amazing Deborah Sheldon. The evocative cover art and design is by horror specialist, Luke Spooner.

“Spawn 1, which was released in May 2021, was a critical success,” said Gerry Huntman, Managing Director of IFWG, “and this second volume was conceived very early in that timeframe. All stories in both volumes follow the same single theme (although with so many interpretive options) that was inspired by Sheldon, but the vibe is a little different in book 2, and some stories are expected to surprise, possibly shock. This is goodness because that’s what the horror genre is all about.”

Spawn 2 interprets and reinterprets pregnancy, birth and babies in a myriad of unexpected ways that will frighten, shock, disgust, horrify, surprise, and move you.

Penned by established authors and fresh new voices, these stories range from the folkloric and phantasmagorical, through sci-fi and cybernetics, to historical and the occult.

Prepare for an intimate, anxious, eviscerating read.
