Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my newest book? In FAMILIAR, two sisters hunt down killers and collect body parts while complicating their lives with volatile magics, bizarre visions, and a mysterious mouth in the wall. Think Junji Ito meets Little Women. ghoulish.rip/product/fami...

I've decided to restrict my cover design commissions to just 12 next year. £300 flat rate includes ebook and print cover, and whatever iterations might be needed (within reason) to find the design you want. Four are already taken, so if you are interested let me know asap. Examples of my work here:

You know, in case you're looking for one of those last minute Christmas gifts for that hard-to-buy-for person.
Honestly, I can't wait to see Yuna Hollander's face when she gets to the cottage.
I had to keep this one under wraps since April, but I'm overjoyed to announce my inclusion in @darkmoonbooks.bsky.social Horror Library Vol 9. I'll have more to say once the full author list is out, but I am incredibly honored to be included among an absolute banger list of horror icons.

I'm loving the fact that Jacob Tierney's every breath is an indictment against at least a dozen showrunners who have overseen fan-hating trainwrecks during the past decade. That's before you even talk about hundreds of movies made by people who hated their own source material.
Happy release day to Poisoned Soup! I’m so grateful to be included with my first ever creative non-fic piece. I hope it gives everyone the feels🖤
