#BuyMyBooks TURN from @alienbuddhapress.bsky.social. With a @carsonwinter.bsky.social of the @deadlanguagespod.bsky.social blurb and a cover by the multi-talented @jvgachs.bsky.social. Vampires + pro wrestling. Nuff said!
Promotional graphic for the horror novel TURN by Patrick Barb. At the top is the book cover, featuring a red-and-black abstract image with the title “TURN” in large red letters and the author’s name below. Red championship belt illustrations appear on either side of the cover. Beneath it is a review quote in red text reading, “Bloody, fun, and filled with liveliness.” The attribution below, in white text, reads: “—Carson Winter, author & co-host of the Dead Languages podcast.” The center of the image displays the title “TURN” in large red letters. Against a dark textured background decorated with black bat silhouettes, white text at the bottom reads: “Available from Amazon & direct from author!”

If your publisher uses AI art, they're bad at their job. Full stop. When a publisher claims they can't afford to invest in your cover art, what they're really saying is that they can't sell your book. /THREAD O'CLOCK

Hell yeah! I’m glad to see this book get some attention. I’m not done reading it yet but I’m loving it, and that cover is fucking sick. Carson explained its creation on an episode of @deadlanguagespod.bsky.social so the Spooky Co-Eds already know what I’m talking about.
