Thrilled to share the cover of my upcoming novel, SARAFINA, coming from CLASH Books in April 2026.

This is a paperback original with a cover by Joel Amat Guell and an introduction by Nick Cutter.

SARAFINA is a Civil War-era horror novel, and might just be the scariest thing I’ve published to date.

So incredibly grateful to everyone who supported me and this book, and I'm equally thrilled that readers are having such a blast with Rose and all the good folks at Autumn Springs.

Huge thanks to Tor Nightfire, Copps Literary, and the folks at @kayepublicity.bsky.social for the support.

Welp, I'm about to start a 17-day odyssey that involves a lot of flying to a lot of different cities and I can only hope and pray I'm able to keep my schedule intact given the chaos happening with government-controlled airport personnel.

That said: Come see me at one of these great events!

Get your biscuits and tea, sit down in your favorite chair and be prepared to meet final girl Rose and the other elderly people in @pfracassi.bsky.social awesome book about a slasher in a retirement home. Fracassi breathes life (and death) in his characters and entertains and thrills the reader.
