"Deliciously diabolical and at times deranged, Priore's world is one darkness, Inferno level devilry, despair, but also friendship and love." A "fast-paced novel" with "splatterpunk aesthetics," THE MONSTERS AMONG US is a compelling read.

Coming 2026 from @rowanprosepub.bsky.social!

Matt Allen knew it wouldn’t be easy convincing his ex Lilly their son should have a chance to live with his dad. Lilly is dead set against the idea.

Now she’s just dead, and Matt is the prime suspect.

Oh, Clover.

An emotionally complex cozy paranormal suspense built on atmosphere and creep. books2read.com/u/3JB1zK

Silver tabby Maine Coon cat, Clover, in a cartoon gray hockey mask with a cartoon machete and a speech bubble, "what do you mean there's no gore? not even the dog?! there's no "atmosphere" costume. i quit"

The background is a large cemetery monument topped with a skull and an image of the cover of Straw Girl by Brigid Barry on an e-reader.
