Meet @juleigh.bsky.social, BRAVE NEW WEIRD Award Winner🖤☠️ "Death Doesn't Sound Like it Looks" advises you to beware of shifting shapes; sometimes even a cow is not a cow. BRAVE NEW WEIRD: The Best New Weird Horror (+ More) Vol. 4 is out July 14th! Preorder here: store.tenebrouspress.com
Red and black graphic box featuring cover art by Matt Blairstone; a human form seated, one hand on a book emblazoned with the Tenebrous skull & laurel. Where the screen cuts from red to black, the flesh is stripped from the human, exposing its skeleton. It thrusts its harm into the air, transforming into a death's head moth. It looks pretty cool.
And then there's a picture of the author next to it, who looks even cooler.
