more neon horror grot, this is a set of horror prints i did for classic horror stories, in ink, charcoal, acrylic paint and digital colour. Really wanted a vicious red against bile gross yellow green for these, for an unsettling combo, and layers of mouldering texture and grot

This is one of my favorite @premeemohamed.com stories. I'd especially recommend it to readers who are looking for something seasonal but not terrifying - this is one of those ghost stories that's more thoughtful and bittersweet in tone.

Premee Mohamed @premeemohamed.com · 23h

Anyway I keep forgetting to yell about this book when it is 🍂seasonal 🍂 but THE APPLE-TREE THRONE (a little vanity project I self-pubbed in 2018) is also available on Kobo and in audio!

A young soldier returned from war is haunted by the ghost of his commanding officer (a posh git)

You are FORSAKEN.
Your world is DOOMED.
Take back the reins of Destiny.
Take back your future.
Before the cruel spiral of entrop eats you whole.
