Cover for Tim Lebbon's COLDBROOK. A zombie-esque figure standing in a field in front of woods. A fog is coming in, and it's all very dreary. Book cover for Stephen Graham Jones' STATES OF GRACE. It features a face made up of different people (and one animal!). The strips are a mixture of young and old (and a lion?). The top is just a glimpse of a forehead with black hair. Then there's more hair, but it's in black and white and almost looks like it was drawn with a pencil. Next strip, you see gray hair on the sides of a heavily wrinked forehead, and the beginning of some dark eyebrows. A painting of someone's eyes follows, then an old picture of the top of a nose, followed by the bottom nose of a lion. Beneath that are lips from a painting and the next strip contains the chin. The neck strip shows a spiked necklace tight around it. Book cover for Stephen Graham Jones' STATES OF GRACE. It features a face made up of different people (and one animal!).

They are walking on railroad tracks into a tunnel. Cove for Grace Byron's HERCULINE. It has green flames covering the novel, with a head rising from them in the center.

I HATE talking about works in progress! Why? Watch to find out.

No, I don't want to talk about it!

@timlebbon.bsky.social on the agony of describing a work-in-progress: it’s perfect in your head… then you say it out loud and it becomes “a scarecrow who takes over a town.” 😂

Some one-liners from Netgalley reviews of SCRATCH MOSS (out March 5):

"David Barnett may just be the new king of British folklore horror."

"Holy CRAP. David Barnett is at the top of his game."

"Wow! I am firmly convinced that David Barnett is simply a master of the folklore horror genre."
