Lost Cherry by Brianna Malotke
Release Date: August 14th, 2024
To be in a love haze means being so in love with another person that you can’t see your partner’s flaws, those little red flags that pop up. Love can be all consuming and oftentimes you give up little pieces of yourself in order to stay in that bubble.
Readers should expect a variety of relationships, where the mortal considers giving up themselves for just a moment more with their love. But along with this, expect feelings of uneasiness and discomfort to creep in. And possibly new beings to haunt your nightmares.
I want readers to consume this collection and walk away questioning what love really is and if it’s worth molding yourself to fit another person’s desires, life, etc. Is love worth giving yourself up?
Better Living Through Alchemy by Evan J. Peterson
Release Date: August 2024
A detective with a psychic sense of smell investigates a magical drug that causes strange overdoses in an occult noir Seattle.
"This is a noir detective story like none you've ever read, a wicked confection of body horror and arcane knowledge. Peterson's characters are unforgettable, and I'm waiting eagerly for a sequel."
- Susan Palwick, author of Flying In Place
