Like the quiet type, all Gothic and mysterious? I'm talking books, not men.😄
'Immortelle' is the perfect read for #spookyseason.
Think white-washed church atop a cliff and ghosts that help a grieving mother exact revenge.
Available @sobelobooks.bsky.social and all the usual places.

Thanks, Gabino!
The re-release of my gothic horror novella comes out on Tuesday with @sobelobooks.bsky.social
Originally pubbed by Sam at Off Limits it did really well, but it'd be great to get new eyes on it!👀

Look at this beauty! I LOVED this book. Engrossing, devastating, brilliant. KILL YOUR DARLING @claymcleod.bsky.social inspired me to up my game in Empty Devils @sobelobooks.bsky.social
This edition is so cool. I hope to write something worthy of a @thunderstormbooks.bsky.social edition one day!

Chapman’s KILL YOUR DARLING,
man covered in duct tape, stretching more off the roll.

That's what makes the heart beat. What gets the words on the page.
Grief horror is its own powerful sub-genre, and I must give a special shoutout to Clay McLeod Chapman's masterful Kill Your Darling, which I read while working through development edits on this book and whose writing taunted and inspired me to discover what I might accomplish.
