The cover of Basement Floor 2 by Clover S. Laurel. It depicts a dark, almost black, basement hallways with a concrete floor and tiled walls. These features are barely visible since the only light is coming from the elevator doors at the far end of the hallway. A small screen above the doors displays “BF-2” in blocky, red text. The title itself is on the basement floor, drawing the viewer’s eye there to see the red reflection of the letters, hinting at the floor being damp.

Gotta love new book day in October. I'm very excited to read this book, "Morbidly Curious." It's a scientific study on why people, especially me, love horror, the paranormal, gore, true crime, serial killers, and anything macabre. Perfect read for the spooky season. 😱📚💀 #BookWorm #BookSky

The Winnipeg Free Press just said this about VEIL: “The kind of horror novel that scares you on a visceral level...The book’s descriptions are so arrestingly vivid that it should come with a warning: 'Don’t read this book right before bed unless you want to have graphic nightmares.'.”
