DAYTIDE is up for preorder now and I sort of buried the lede on this limited edition, illustrated, horror-fantasy.

There’s an introduction by @pfracassi.bsky.social that blew the bombas right off of my feet. I’m still reeling.

350 total books. Order: www.rapturepublishing.com/product/dayt...

THE DEVOURERS is lightly discounted on Bookshop.org again, stick it to Prime Day if it is indeed Prime Day.

Bookshop.org (still blocked where I am for some reason) is having an anti-amazon-prime sale, & you can my books there, including THE DEVOURERS, my queer dark fantasy/mythic realist debut about shapeshifters in the 17th c Mughal Empire & modern India, slightly discounted. It won a Lambda Award.

Indeed. We are going all in on this thing. I’ve done something like 22 total pieces of art for the finished book!

Thanks Lora! Crazy part is, it’s just what we did for the ARC. The final cover will be different 👀 but this design *might* be foil stamped on the hardcover!

Chris Wolff's review of Shitshow

5/5: Well, with a name like Shitshow, I had expectations, but I didn't expect this. I was thinking, maybe this will be a fun horror comedy. I've liked Panatier's work in the past, so I opened the door...
