A little astonished we've had to do this, but lo: thanks to the unbelievably quick work of the wonderful @ruthannaevans.bsky.social... TRADWIFE has a new cover, for the Bad Place only

(If there's an issue with *plastic* hearts... I'm all out of ideas)

OG cover still VERY available everywhere else

It's Christmas - and to celebrate, we've made the recently-relaunched A Press of Feathers free/PWYW all this week on the Nefarious Bat webstore

Happy holidays! (if haunted houses, sinister neighbours, Victorian asylum ghosts & grisly serial killings are your thing) 🎄🎅

May your spirits be bright, and free of monsters! 🎄

It's £1.99/$2.99 at the Bad Place right now*... so here's the sort of thing you can expect to find, if you pick up @tcparker.bsky.social's The Debt

*though, if you wanted to buy it direct from us at the Bat store... we wouldn't hate it

We're both really proud of this one - and are delighted to have a chance to lavish a bit of attention on it

So, if Clive Barker meets The Birds in a haunted house is your cup of tea (per Ross Jeffery!) - we'd love you to give it a read :)
