We are thrilled to announce that we have acquired Justine Norton-Kertson‘s debut horror novella, Gutterspace!

Press Release for Gutterspace by Justine Norton-Kertson

Publishers Jendia Gammon and Gareth L. Powell of Stars and Sabers Publishing acquired world English rights for Gutterspace, a horror novella by author, editor, publisher, and musician Justine Norton-Kertson (Utopian Witch: Solarpunk Magick to Fight Climate Change and Save the World).

We love this wickedly unsettling horror novella, which is Justine’s horror debut! Gutterspace publishes in October 2026.

From the Author:

“A washed-up artist in Portland, Oregon faces off against a monster that stalks its prey from between the panels of an old, forgotten comic book.” — Justine Norton-Kertson, author of Utopian Witch: Solarpunk Magick to Fight Climate Change and Save the World, founder of Android Press, and co-founder of Nerd Horror.

We can’t wait to showcase Justine’s novella just in time for Halloween 2026, as we expand our single-author horror acquisitions at Stars and Sabers Publishing. Their book is a chiller!
