Here's a book I loved!
I think you'll love it too!

Threads of Ash: South by SH Cooper

Perfect mix of fantasy & horror ✔️
Unexpected companions ✔️
Expansive mythology ✔️
Gripping action ✔️

This novella is a phenomenal throwback to the 80s sword & sworcery world's told with a steady & pristine hand!

My debut novel ROOT MAGIC is a great intro for both kids & adults to Hoodoo and Gullah Geechee culture, full of historical events, folklore, & rootwork.

If you're looking for a book about making a way when there’s no way, I hope you'll get a copy!

The cover of ROOT MAGIC on a light and dark green background, strewn with foliage. Young Black twins (boy and girl) stand back to back in the middle of a marsh of blue, yellow and green mist lined with trees and reeds. She is holding a book, and her doll is peeking out of the pocket of her blue dress. He is wearing dark blue overalls and holding a bottle of magic potion and had a mojo bag around his neck. Text reads: "A must-read, sure to leave readers wishing for more after the final page." -Booklist (starred review) Root Magic A Walter Award Honor Book Eden Royce "Black Girl Magic has never been more powerful" - Ronald L. Smith, author of Hoodoo

While I feel it's a bit early to nail down any best-of-the-year lists, I'm glad Bookbub enjoyed A GAME IN YELLOW and gave it a place among these terrific horror titles of 2025 so far by Alma Katsu, RF Kuang, Rachel Harrison, Stephen King, Stephen Graham Jones & more 💛
www.bookbub.com/blog/best-ho...
Riffing on the classic horror story The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers, Bram Stoker Award–winning author Hailey Piper tells the story of Carmen, who is bored in her relationship and anxious that she’s losing her hold on her girlfriend, Blanca. In an effort to keep Blanca interested, Carmen has been pushing her physical boundaries, ultimately leading her to discover a play that makes its readers feel euphoric — at a cost. Carmen is warned that reading too much of the play will drive her insane, but she keeps chasing the high she feels when she reads it, seeking out more and more of the text. As she reads, her sense of reality begins to slip in horrifying ways… but she can’t stop. The Best Horror Books of 2025, article by Jeff Somers, showing the cover of Katabasis by R.F. Kuang amid lit candles
