Five months after release, SARAFINA had it's second best sales week EVER (for US print editions as reported via Bookscan). Being a midlist author who relies on his books having "legs", spikes like this are rare and very welcome, and, imho, can be attributed directly to word of mouth.

Slipping in two more preorders before the end of the Barnes & Noble sale: BLOODSICK by @adamcesare.bsky.social and TRAPS AND SPECTERS: STORIES by @pfracassi.bsky.social.

The cover of Adam Cesare's BLOODSICK book features high school lockers with the title written in blood and a clawed hand sticking out from inside one of the lockers.

The cover for Philip Fracassi's TRAPS AND SPECTERS: STORIES shows a labyrinth of wood with grayscale hands and pools of blood dispersed intermittently across multiple levels.
