In library finds, just read Loving, Ohio which goes hard. Good small town culty horror. The use of color is incredible and kept blowing my mind. Written by @matthewerman.bsky.social and art by @sambeckdraws.bsky.social

I don't talk about this book enough. But #LovingOhio is a beautiful MASTERPIECE of teen angst, those drifting emotions, and the cults children are FORCED into. Rereading at work. @matthewerman.bsky.social @sambeckdraws.bsky.social @darkhorse.com

Was suuuuper excited for @sambeckdraws.bsky.social . I knew I'd need a copy of the third book of "The Verse" (and signed book plates for volume 1 and 2!), and there was no way I could resist "Loving, Ohio". (Look at that cover!)

I wasn't, however, expecting to fall in love with these prints! 😍

A copy of the book "Loving, Ohio" by Matthew Erman and Sam Beck. The cover is a beautiful and spooky image of two people, one tangible and the other smoke like and surreal.

The book "The Verse" by Sam Beck. The cover features two magical, fantasy characters.

If you're dropping by your LCS today to pick up new books, ask them to pre-order a copy of THE GODDAMN TRAGEDY for ya. It's a thrilling new one-shot story with a whole slew of fantastic variant covers by Jenna Cha, Tula Lotay, Jacob Phillips, and Oliver Dominguez!

This is one of the earliest series Sierra Hahn and I started working on at @oni-press.bsky.social back in early 2023. All credit to the Ben H. Winters for delivering one of the most extraordinary pitches I’ve ever read.

If you dig what Ben and Leomacs have done in CRUEL UNIVERSE, do not miss this!
