A belter of a review from one of our ARC readers:

"It’s really quite a book and I have great admiration for Joe Butler bringing it all together in an expanding Lynchian, Kingian, Nolanian way."

"I love it when a protagonist sucks a little bit in terms of being a person."

Heeeeelp us. We have cover blindness!

An experimental metanarrative horror with eldritch creatures and heavy family histories should have WHICH COVER: 1, 2, 3, or 4?

🪲 Happy publication day to The Red Light Starts Blinking by Jonathon Kane 🪲

Less a collection of short stories and more a set of interlocking teeth. A disquieting game of emotional roulette. Disturbed? Deranged? Delighted? The Red Light is on.

What's that coming over the hill? Is it our first book?

The Red Light Starts Blinking is Jonathon Kane’s debut collection of short experimental fiction, equally hard-faced and tender, following characters searching for a way forward or back or around—some direction, any direction.
