What are 'Fotoromanzi'? My next horror novel is all about them, so here's a quick blog about this curious Italian phenomenon... pjthorndyke.wordpress.com/2025/07/03/w... #giallo #fotoromanzi #booksky #horrorfiction
What are ‘Fotoromanzi’?
My current work in progress is a giallo-inspired mystery thriller set in 1970s Italy in which the cast and crew of a fotoromanzo are stalked and slain by a mysterious killer. What is a fotoromanzo?…

#horrorwritingcommunity so I’d like my first book to get more exposure. I didn’t write it to make money (that’d be nice tho haha) but it’d be nice to have like more than 4 reviews from my friends. Curious if anyone recommends someone I can hire to advertise my book? #booksky #writersky

Cover for Mark Matthews' TO THOSE WILLING TO DROWN. It features multiple people sinking down into the water, with the subtitle THE LAKE IS SO COLD. THE TRUTH IS SO DEEP. Cover for Caitlin Starling's THE LUMINOUS DEAD. It features a gloved hand gripping a the edge of a cliff. This can't end well. Cover for Catriona Ward's LOOKING GLASS SOUND. It's as if you're in a cave looking out into the water, and, in the water, there is a boat on the right and what looks like a mermaid floating on her back. The way it's setup, the outline of the cave is the same as a skull, with the boat and mermaid forming the eyes. Cover for Tim Waggoner's THE WORLD TURNS RED. In the center is a sitting chair with a shotgun resting against it. However, even though it's innocuous, there's a very creepy vibe going on here.
