Big update today! Removed a ton of expired sales and added a ton to replace them. Works by @jeffstrand.bsky.social, @adamcesare.bsky.social, @mjkoryta.bsky.social, @tjoneswriter.bsky.social, @aniaahlborn.bsky.social, @pfracassi.bsky.social, @sethgs.bsky.social, &more! #booksky #ad #bookdeals

On the cover of Michael McDowell's THE ELEMENTALS, the silhouette of a house sits on what looks like a beach, and the ocean behind it is blood red. A large yellow sun sits in the sky.

The cover for Jeff Strand's BLOODSUCKER COUNTRY. It features a muscular creature with hands that will scratch your face off and an exposed ribcage. You can't see its head, legs, or even it's breastbone down because it's not there. Instead, you see a creepy figure through where its breastbone and stomach should be.

Cover for Scott Carson's DEPARTURE 37. It features stormy clouds of gray and pinkish/orange(?) with a blue eye staring through a busted hole in the cover.

Cover for Adam Cesare's CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD 3: THE CHURCH OF FRENDO. There's a scarecrow hanging on your typical scarecrow holder upper in a cornfield, but this guy is wearing a jolly old clown mask that is absolutely terrifying.
