Book cover of This Wilderness & Other Concerns by Martin Kennedy Yates, published by The Broken Spine. The cover artwork depicts an urban canal or waterway running between old brick and industrial buildings, with graffiti on one wall and a dark, moody atmosphere. A quote from writer and poet Jonathan Davidson reads: “These poems are a pleasure both to encounter and to read.”

A #book is the perfect escape! Want a portal to other worlds? BLACK RIVER can transport you. Like nobledark #fantasy trilogies full of political intrigue, desperate battles and epic journeys? Check out The Enchanter's Web! oaklandhillsfarm.com/novel (Alt txt for deets) #writingcommunity #sff 📚🪐 📚💙

For more info: oaklandhillsfarm.com/novel
4 covers. BLACK RIVER, pub'd by Mystique Press: moonlit waters flanked by pine forest with scudding clouds on the horizon. Cover design: M. Turville Heitz & David Dodd. What if Uncle Rupert’s fanciful stories of world-hopping wizards scavenging exotic animals, magic stones, and weapons of mass destruction were real?
Praise for BR: “Is it science fiction? Fantasy? Or... well, I don't care, I just know it was a wild ride and I was sorry when it was over.” LS
EW 1: SPECTERS FROM A DREAM. Cover by Ingrid Kallick: a burning barn, a figure silhouetted in the flames and flaming arrows. Smoke coils up and away. They thought their dreams guided them. What if they were wrong? An epic fantasy of intrigue and sorcery, EW 1 finds our heroes trying to manage powers beyond their control in a desperate war against stronger forces with a mission to destroy the world.
Praise for EW1: “A rousing high fantasy novel. This kept me up reading for several nights. This is an intricate, well-developed world and characters readers of fantasy will love. I can't wait to read the next in the series.” ESR
EW2: DREAD WARRIOR. Ingrid's cover shows a giant wave crashing over a small overturned sailboat with a sword-bearing warrior clinging to the hull of the vessel as a storm rages overhead. What could go wrong when a peaceful land plans a war? In EW2 our heroes must face tribal rivalries and class divisions to somehow unite Shande and her allies to save themselves.
EW3: THE RISING OF KEDTAIR. Ingrid's cover shows dragon-like conjurations sent to attack a white-clad, dagger-wielding figure. When all the pieces come together, what if it was always to another’s plan? EW3 finds our heroes desperately gathering armies in an occupied land controlled by a better-armed, better-trained enemy. They must meet an impossible timeline. They count on many pieces falling into place. They didn’t count on the Enchanter’s web.

Sweet home
handmade landscape painting in acrylic

Sweet home is a landscape painting in acrylic painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. The abstracted dream landscape in expressive colours shows a small white house in the middle of a yellow field, perhaps a rape field in spring or a sunflower field in summer or ripe grain in autumn. Above the field stretches a wide sky with dark blue storm clouds. Rays of sunlight illuminate the field and the house. The picture was painted with loose expressive brushstrokes. The colour contrast between the field in bright yellow and orange tones and the sky in dark blue and violet tones emphasises the painting's bright expressive effect.

The emotional potency and madness of Plath and Poe.

The action and philosophical depth of FullMetal Alchemist.

The body horror brought about by the monster within, as found in Parasite Eve.

All of this and more can be found in THE MONSTERS AMONG US.
