You can now check out my short story collection WHO LOST, I FOUND at Charleston County Public Library! These are stories like the South itself: beautiful, dangerous, haunting. “Royce’s lyrical prose invites readers into the lives of Southern conjure women, haints, sentient houses... #booksky

@3lobedmag.com has been pubbing since 1999 and needs your help to put out another year of fantastic original horror, fantasy, and sci-fi! Exclusive rewards include autographed books, story critiques, custom artwork, a handmade hardwood letter opener, and more! www.kickstarter.com/projects/asf...

A graphic of various Three-Lobed Burning Eye's cover artwork images: A blue multi-armed monster standing next to a fox and what I think might be a blanket with eyes. Maybe it's a burnt-out tree - still with the eyes, though. And oh, yeah, they're bloodshot.

Next, there's someone wearing a helmet that's somewhere between medieval knight and plague doctor next to a creature that seems to be the big sister of Aku from Samurai Jack.

Then there's a wasp thingy with a skull for a head wearing a gold crown, and flying above a black hat that's sprouted tentacles. The hat-wearer peers at the reader, but we can only see its red pupils.

I don't know how to describe the last one, but it has lots of faces, eyes, and color. And ghosts.
