"When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich."

That quote attributed to Jean-Jacques Rousseau ushers in @fearofemeralds.bsky.social's searing survey of horror meets late-stage capitalism.

We're delighted to reveal the cover for @jeffsomers.bsky.social's FIVE FUNERALS, out 02.22.26!

The cover art is by @barnaclesandmoss.bsky.social, evoking the macabre whimsy of Edward Gorey, & is perfect for this ghastly book of absurdist fiction.
