Daylight never felt this unsettling.
You are trapped in a masked cult, where pain is salvation.
Every thought is tallied. Every smile is a lie.

Tyler Battaglia, horror author - PRAY FOR HIM out now! @whosthistyler.bsky.social · Oct 24

Re-introduction time! I'm Tyler Battaglia (any/he/iel), a queer and disabled author of horror, horror romance, and dark fantasy. My debut novel, PRAY FOR HIM, about a closeted priest and his possessed best friend, came out on October 1 (cover, below, by Jaria Rambaran!)

🌈📚 #horrorwriter

The cover of PRAY FOR HIM by Tyler Battaglia. It shows a priest with his hands spread out against a backdrop of an outline of a stained glass window. His chest is opened to expose his ribs. Out of his ribs grow purple, red, and white flowers, and in the cavity of his chest is a bleeding and flaming sacred heart. The entire image is black and white, except for the flowers, flaming heart, and blood.
