Heading down to South Carolina for the weekend. Perfect timing for Shortwave to send me some reading material for the flight: CHIMERA SKIN by Johnny Compton and DEPTH CHARGE by Tyler Jones, both on shelves this November. Nobody’s doing it quite like @shortwavebooks.bsky.social

This book has become my entire personality. It’s compelling and so beautifully written.
@tjoneswriter.bsky.social needs to be a household name. I’m obsessed with everything he’s ever written.

We're so excited to get to work with Tanya again!

I've been focussed on longer work this year, so my short fiction has been a bit slower, but I'm still really proud of my one published story (so far) with @shortwavebooks.bsky.social, in which a woman convinces herself her husband replaced her for a robot...! shortwavepublishing.com/magazine/mor...

REST STOP

Pub’d by @shortwavebooks.bsky.social

Welcome to #HauteHorrorCover - where horror book covers twin with high fashion.

#BookSky #HorrorSky

#HauteHorrorCover graphic. A book cover on an e-reader - Rest Stop by Nat Cassidy. “Profoundly devastating and nasty as hell” - Eric LaRocca, Author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke. The font are letters cut from magazines thrown against white tiles. Red liquid covers the bottom tiles and some at the top as a lone googly eye stares at nothing. On the left of the e-reader is a strip of film featuring a model wearing a Salvatore Ferragamo (Spring Summer 2013) trouser suit with white trainers. The suit consists of red trousers, a white jacket stained red from shoulder to chest and stained a lighter red along the pockets. Underneath, a white shirt has a similar pattern.
