I truly deeply believe that we are irrevocably fucked vis-a-vis climate change and that we still must act as if there is any hope of mitigating it by actually trying to mitigate it

Cover Reveal and Pre-Order!

I couldn’t be more stoked (or grossed out) by the cover to my debut horror collection. Mitch_gen on IG was great to work with, and would you look at that illustration!

Release is set for 9.9.25! Ebook pre-orders are up with paperback and audiobook soon.

A skinned figure with arcane writing on their flesh holds a book with pages made of skin. Above is written Rain Corbyn’s Body of Work. Below is Short Body Horrors

The cover of Reap, Sow, featuring an angry, screaming elderly woman half enshroudrd in shadow, beside the book description text: The halls are familiar. Lucianne "Lucky" Boyle knows that much. But how she came to be in this strange place that tries to make itself look like home is a mystery. Filled with doors that have no handles, rooms that shift to almost familiar, and faceless people in blue, Lucky is determined to find a way out to get back to her family and the man she loves. Until her family starts to show up, one by one, to lead her down a dark and twisted path that ends in a terrible truth.

"Cryptid Sister" is a poem by @hvpatterson.bsky.social that asks us to fill our grief with dead and crawling things, and you can read it now!

Image shows Saleha Chowdhury's art of a dark figure over a red background, their organs made up of strange animals. Superimposed on the image is an excerpt from issue twenty of Haven Spec Magazine, published July 2025.

Author: H.V. Patterson
Title: Cryptid Sister

Excerpt:

The summer Mom died,
I summoned you
From vulture feathers,
From discarded cicada husks,
From car-wrecked armadillos,
Legs surrendered to the eternal, burning sky.

When I wrote Undead Folk, it was to highlight the flaws of the American healthcare system & to shine a light on queer families. The whole series is a tribute to those that would suffer or be left behind by the corrupt rich. If you read my book & support what just happened, kindly F off into the sun.
