I’m not only an indie publisher, I’m also an indie writer. So excited to be doing this unhinged chaos magick spell of a slasher novel with Shortwave!

New Deal Announcement! COSPLAY TO DEATH is a cool new slasher novel by @clashbooks.bsky.social editor Christoph Paul. A deranged killer believes cosplayers call ancient energies while in costume that he must kill and absorb... Join us at a twisted comic con in the woods, fall 2027. 🔪

Aaaaaah one of my favourite books is about to be available in print again! 🖤

Felt good to update our home page today with our first 2026 book in the "Upcoming & Latest Titles" section. So many more to come!

A favorite book with a gorgeous new cover. It’s an honest and nuanced depiction of living with loss that made me an instant @laurelhightower.bsky.social fan. CROSSROADS is a must read.

CROSSROADS (and 14 other books) will be included in our 2026 Subscription Book Boxes! More info here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ala...

Cover reveal time for CROSSROADS, the incredible novella from @laurelhightower.bsky.social! This is the first cover reveal for our 2026 titles. Cover art, design, and typography by @alandistro.bsky.social CROSSROADS will be published in April 2026. shortwavepublishing.com/catalog/cros...
