From the time we are young, we fear the monster under the bed or in the closet, making it impossible to sleep without a nightlight. Then, we hear stories of Bigfoot, and maybe even the Mothman around campfires. When we are adults, we wonder if there might actually be supernatural creatures lurking in the shadows. Are these tall tales and urban legends only metaphors for what horrific things humanity is capable of-or do monsters exist? Go to some terrifying places with this cast of authors. You will be dragged into mystifying realities where demonic fairies hide, where devil monkeys lure carnival-goers to their demise, where Goatmen seek to destroy their prey, and where the goddess of death puts out a hit on victims of her choice. These shocking tales will have you biting your nails and locating that childhood nightlight. Because, in the end, we all know monsters do exist.

No Safe Word is a smooth blend of horrific perversions, hardcore erotica, and the brutal imagery that Deadman's Tome is known for. With a title like No Safe Word, it should be of no surprise that this issue contains strong images of misogyny, misandry, BDSM, brutal beatings and demonic sex. If you cannot stomach that, then please, do not go any further. We do not need that PC police one-star rating. If it's not your cup of tea, then why even critique it? No Safe Word includes the following talented horror authors: William Marchese, Renee Miller, Charles Tillerman, R. A. Goli, Jaap Boekestein, Mr. Deadman, James 'Grim' Desborough, Sheldon Woodbury, Matthew Lyons, and Patrick Winters.
