Transworld, a division of Penguin Random House UK, is launching the publisher’s first horror imprint, 3AM Books, the Bookseller reports. Led by publishing director Rachel Winterbottom and editorial director Simon Taylor, the imprint takes its name from the witching hour, “the moment when the world feels most heightened, uncanny and like anything might happen.” The list aims to “reflect the full range and ambition of horror today, bringing together established voices, bold new talent and a growing community of readers.” 3AM’s first title, Fawn by debut author and journalist CN Vair, is forthcoming in August.
