I'm thrilled to help celebrate the cover reveal for @jessiethomasauthor.bsky.social's new book This Hideous Heart! After devouring her other title A Ransom In Blood, I'm stoked to read more of her work! Give her a follow and hop onto Goodreads to add the book to your TBR!

🕯️🫀COVER REVEAL 🕯️🫀

A big thank you to Fay Lane for creating a beautifully gothic cover for THIS HIDEOUS HEART that evokes a haunted Victorian séance parlor! The details are absolutely stunning — I can’t get enough of them.

THIS HIDEOUS HEART will be releasing this winter.

A darkly gothic pink and black book cover. The pink background has a subtle damask pattern. The design features an elegant black frame adorned with black candles dripping wax, ravens, and an anatomical heart framed by skeleton keys. THIS HIDEOUS HEART is at the center in a Victorian style font. The surrounding graphic with the blurred cover as the background reads, “ Step into the parlor. Montresor House awaits…” with “Coming this winter” at the bottom.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+
