RELEASE DAY! Friends, I could really use some help spreading the word... Thank to @slashichorrorpress.bsky.social and everyone who has read the novella so far. You rock. #queerhorror #horrorsky #horrorbooks #chicago

I interviewed QUEER HORROR author @marcruvolo.bsky.social on the release of his novel, Pieties: Expanded Edition. He's revised his 2024 novella set in the 80s. A bold new cover; an additional 4,000 words; a reworked ending. Check it out at www.ryanlawrenceauthor.ca @slashichorrorpress.bsky.social

I'm cleaning out my closet. Forgot these were in there. Read them hand over fist back in the day.

Starting bid, 12 grand. Yikes.
