Cover for Sarah Pinborough's WE LIVE HERE NOW. A house sits on the top 1/4th of the cover, with 4 birds flying around it. The title is below that, and behind the title it looks like a pond, but the reflection kind of looks like veins.Cover for Becky Siegel Spratford's WHY I LOVE HORROR. Two white figures stand holding hands against a white background. The figure on the left is like 30 feet tall, and its face is a skull. The figure on the right is a normal ass humanoid who is tempting fate.Cover for Gemma Amor's ITCH! It's a bright pink cover with an eyeball staring at you from the center. Within the eye's pupil, you can see two people looking down at you, as if they were on a cliff or well or cave something. Coming from the corner of they eye are yellow ants. Someone is not having a good day.Cover for Hailey Piper's TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE DEMONS. The title is in the front in this mint green, and a demon (a teenage girl demon!) i just behind it. She has a light red color to her face and her skin is peeled off around the teeth and chin, exposing a delightful set of fangs. She has has horns protruding from her forehead. Do not mess with this young lady.

This is a random question but a few years back I was nominated for a BFA/the August Derleth award for FULL IMMERSION. Does anyone know if nominees got a certificate or any other way to mark the nomination? I'd love to have something to frame... @britfantasysoc.bsky.social thought I'd ask 🖤

For ages now, I’ve been searching for an immersive yet at the same time transgressive and icky-in-a-good-way + feminist horror story to read, and now that I’m in chapter 8, I feel like I have finally found what I’ve been looking for! So, just wanted to come here to send my thanks to you!

Book 82: Full Immersion by @manylittlewords.bsky.social One of our leading, modern voices, I could pick from a number of Gemma Amor’s horror stories, but this mix of speculative sci-fi and horror is her most raw and personal book, and the one I can most widely recommend. 🩸📚💙 🪐📚💙 #booksky

Cover for Tracey Baptiste's THE JUMBIES. A young Black girl stands in the middle of a forest bathed in blue, arms full with apples (or maybe oranges). Two young Black boys are on her right, peeking from behind a tree. Above them all, high up, are a pair of yellow eyes watching down. This does not bode well for these children.Cover for S.A. Cosby's MY DARKEST PRAYER. The author's name and book title splashes across the top of the cover, with a building taking up the bottom half. The building looks very industrial; no windows and only a large door, almost like a barn door. Above the door, a giant, orange neon cross lights up the night.Cover for Daniel A. Olivas' CHICANO FRANKENSTEIN. It's a mostly green cover, with a sugar skull in the middle in various shades of green. Flowers of orange and red are on the left and right of the skull.Cover for Gemma Amor's FIRST DATE. The bottom half consists of the title and author's name. The top half focuses on a pair of glasses (see what I did there!), with the right lens shattered. The glasses rest on a table, with blood splatter on both the table and lenses of the glasses. The reflection on the glasses is a field. It's all bathed in orange.

Cover for Gemma Amor's ITCH. It's mostly pink, but there's a wide open eye, drawn in black, staring right at you from dead center of the page. Looking closer, you can see two figures staring down at you from the iris, almost as if you were looking up from a well at them. There are yellow ants crawling from the corner of the eye down to the title, which is in black below the eye.

Critical error of bringing the kindle into work with me on admin day. I'm 70% through Itch by @manylittlewords.bsky.social so suffice it to say, zero admin actually being accomplished, due to smoke breaks to read a couple chapters 'real quick' and the excessive showering due to subject matter. 🐜🐜😕
