Burnt match
A lipless, toothy figure in a black coat. it's skin is bruise-yellow and green. its upper head is scorched black, its hair flows straight up, and it has scratchy "eyes" floating where real eyes should be. The background is reminiscent of flames

Been doing this for a minute but seeing an author’s eyes light up when they see their galley for their book makes me feel less dead inside. Also one of the best horror authors in the game is also dog mom of year. Really nice to see @kylekouri.bsky.social & @ceejthemoment.bsky.social at Rough Draft 🥰

A reminder that ARCs of my collection Come Sing For The Harrowing are available now on NetGalley. Physical ARCs from @clashbooks.bsky.social (I have a couple of copies too, if you're in the UK). Weird folk #horror for all you strange people.

"...unsettling and immersive sci-fi thriller. Readers will be on the edges of their seats."

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BABY

www.publishersweekly.com/9781787589186
The Night Ship Alex Woodroe. Flame Tree, $26.95 (224p) ISBN 978-1-787589-18-6 Woodroe (Whisperwood) expertly maintains suspense throughout this unsettling and immersive sci-fi thriller about an apocalyptic event in 1987 Romania. Heroine Rosi has “made it a point of survival to think as little as possible about... goings-on beyond what was strictly in front of her.” She’s taken advantage of the logging truck used by her fiancé, Gigi, to facilitate her smuggling business. On a routine excursion in that vehicle, the pair pick up a hitchhiker, Sorin, who claims to be a philosophy student, though Rosi soon comes to suspect that he is a government informant, if not actually a member of the country’s notorious secret police. Before she can test this theory, darkness falls like a physical force from the sky and “swallows the world.” In this new pitch blackness, segments of once solid ground are replaced by an inky substance that drags down all objects that land in it. With the truck’s cabin one of the only safe refuges, this unlikely trio set out to make sense of what’s happened and rescue survivors. Woodroe parcels out reveals about the nature of the dark void gradually but effectively. Readers will be on the edges of their seats. (Jan.)

Are "classic reissues" imprints a recession indicator? Or, maybe more accurately, a general coming-industry-collapse indicator? Because lordy it seems like there are a bunch of them cropping up recently and it just feels like we maybe don't need *so* many?
