Since leaving Twitter, I've been really struggling to reach readers and connect with others in the writersphere. I feel like I must just do social media all wrong 🙃 So yeah, if you're a horror reader looking for new books, please check mine out and share! And other writers, hi, let's be friends!

Good morning bluesky ☀️

Does your friend plan on coming back as a skeleton after they die? Look for the warning signs.
Started saying “no bones about I”
Drinks whole milk and says “feels good” after
Learning to play the xylophone
Plans on living easy off of “skeletal retirement”
Hates boneless wings
Accidentally called Dracula “dad”
Dreams of having their face on a bottle of poison one day
Building a car made out of bones “for later”

The Pike Boys is a gritty crime thriller based in 1920s New Orleans about a brothel owning street gang, but at it’s core, it’s a meditation on what a life of violence does to the soul & the mind. If that’s up your alley, sign up @ bigeasypress.substack.com & get the 1st THREE chapters as preview!

Full cover wrap: back cover gives a very short description of the book, and a brief description the writer’s publishing history. The middle portion of the wrap is the spine of the book with the writer’s name and title going down it veritically. The third most right portion of the wrap is the front cover. It’s a black and white image of 1920s New Orleans’ skyline with the novel’s title The Pike Boys looming over the buildings.
