Atmospheric, haunting, and relentlessly unsettling, IT PIERCES is a chilling tale of guilt, folklore, and the darkness that violence leaves behind. In these ancient woods, no trespass goes unanswered. No sin goes unpunished. #Folkhorror #horrorbook

Coming soon to a sticker shop near you ! #art #chandelle #chandoll

A picture of my character Chandoll, the animated porcelain doll version of Chandelle, who is a French tomboy with short dark hair. Her porcelain skin is cracked and repaired with gold fillings in a style known as Kintsugi, and she is wearing a dress shirt with the sleeves rolled above her elbows under a black vest and a blue tie. She is putting a piss-yellow robot in a headlock; its screen-face is cracked and shedding sparks, while its articulated arms are flailing impotently. Its screen is displaying an AI generated picture of an anime grill waiving a six fingered hand. The picture is captioned "hand made" with a blue hand symbol containing a no AI sign.

#CartAugust Lida is Dhashere's trading hub. Foreign ships from across the ocean will bypass the ports on the western coast and sail into the interior to take advantage of the better networks and connections. Lida was built by the Samasunan and was their second-largest settlement. The city straddles

A landmass labeled Dhashere with a large inland sea, open ocean to the west. The inland sea is named the Thangul and has several cities along its coast. Lida is the largest of them, straddling the mouth of the Hatal River. It's on the southeastern coast, and the capital, Ebillashalla, is due east.

More #Bookmail today! Look at these lovely books in the Gods & Giants series by Rhonda Parrish. Even better - With A Broken Wing is dedicated to me! 📢📚 #BookSky

Two hardback copies with blue covers and gold circle with Nordic ruins. The first has a sword and is One in the Hand by Rhonda Parrish. The second has a hammer with lightning shooting out of it and is With A Broken Wing by Rhonda Parrish. Between them is propped a slim, green book with a gold circle and Nordic ruins. It has a picture of a white tree with a red fruit and is Two Loyal Dogs and a hit head in an apple tree by Rhonda Parrish.

The dedication to With A Broken Wing by Rhonda Parrish reads Dedicated to Daniel, Iseult and Kat - without whom it probably never would have been written. Thank you for loving Autumn’s story as much as I do. And to Jo.

Belated #BookMail post! Thank you so much to S.S. Fitzgerald for this copy of the third book in his series - Alone Together: Hostiles. If you haven’t started this series, you really should. I tore through the first 3 books and now I have to wait until next year for book 4! 📢📚 #HorrorSky 📚💙

A paperback book with a black and red cover. Against a red poppy design, black silhouettes of people, a dog, and an alligator are seen. The title rests above and below the image. Alone Together Hostiles. At the bottom of the book, in smaller white text, is the author’s name. S.S. Fitzgerald. The photograph shows the book propped up on a white surface. A cream wall is viable in the background, as well as a portion of a window.
