Launching next summer Donald Cheatham’s RIP TIDE, leads the second wave of Savage Harvest releases!
Fathom Press is excited to announce the second wave of titles in its acclaimed Savage Harvest imprint, arriving next spring.
Following the success of its debut line—which brought cult classics like Cold Front and Chainsaw Terror back to print for the first time in decades—Fathom Press continues its mission to resurrect these hard-to-find, and much-sought-after titles to terrify a new generation of readers.
The 2026/2027 lineup includes:
Rip Tide (1984) by Donald Cheatham
When a rogue tiger shark terrorizes the coastal community of Surfside, Florida, Detectives Michael Stark and Liza Sallings are tasked with stopping the bloodshed—but just offshore, another danger is gathering: a hurricane unlike anything the Sun Coast has ever faced.
The Death of the Führer (1972) by Roland Puccetti
Karl Gisevius thought he was chasing the story of the century. Instead, a dying man’s confession hurls him into a continent-spanning conspiracy. Piece by piece, a terrible picture emerges—an insidious plot to resurrect the Third Reich. Each revelation pushes him closer to the terrifying truth… they saved Hitler’s brain.
Children of the Black Sabbath (1977) by Anne Hébert
Within the sacred walls of the Sisters of the Precious Blood, Sister Julie of the Trinity writhes under the grip of demonic possession. As her visions grow darker and her torment worsens, Sister Julie’s madness threatens to consume the cloister itself.
Joyride (1983) by Ronald Francis Patrick
On the eve of graduation, high schooler Patricia and her friends sneak into All Saints Cemetery for one last party. But someone’s out there in the dark, watching, waiting… By dawn the party will be over and most of them will be dead in Ronald Francis Patrick’s Joyride!
Vigilante (1983) by Richard Vetere
When a ruthless gang murders his child and the corrupt and broken system lets the killers walk free, Eddie Moreno wages war on the streets of New York—becoming a one-man reckoning in Richard Vetere’s Vigilante!
Acclaimed screenwriter and playwright Richard Vetere returns to the violent, gritty world of 1980s New York with an all-new novelization of Vigilante, the cult-classic film he helped create over 40 years ago, marking Fathom Press’ first original work.
“Each of these titles showcases a different facet of the late-20th-century paperback boom,” says Justin Bacolo, Creative Director of Fathom Press. “From tales of nature run amok to speculative alternative history, they reveal just how wide, weird, and terrifying the paperback landscape of the ’70s and ’80s was.”
The second wave of titles launch Memorial Day Weekend with the release of Donald Cheatham’s Rip Tide and will be available directly from Fathom Press.
