One of those arrow-laden book promo images for Salvation Spring Image, titled Salvation Spring: Deconstructed, shows a thumbnail cover of the book in the centre, with arrows shooting off it promising: Weird West Memory loss Big twists Twin Peaks meets Blake Crouch Very sapphic Pull quote from author Ross Jeffery reads: "a western-horror Memento"
SALVATION SPRING She doesn't know where she's been, these last few years, or how she came by the scars that mark her body. She can barely remember who she is, a lot of the time. But Sasha knows Salvation Spring, the tiny nowhere town out in the middle of the desert that calls to her in dreams and haunts her waking life. Getting there is hard. But what she'll find there - and what the place will ask of her - will be much, much harder. Because the Spring isn't what it seems - far from it. And neither, for that matter, is Sasha. Not by a long way.

10.02.2026 17:48 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Promo image for The Nine O'Clock Horses & Other Stories Central image is the book cover, with arrows promising: - Horror Story Collection - Magnus Archives Vibes - Seriously Creepy - Body Horror - Urban Legend Meets Suburban Paranoia Quote at the bottom reads: "Tense, gruesome horror that keeps you on the edge of your seat"
THE NINE O'CLOCK HORSES & OTHER STORIES Urban legend, body horror and suburban paranoia collide in THE NINE O'CLOCK HORSES - a collection of short stories, novelettes and micro-fictions from the author of TRADWIFE, HUMMINGBIRD and SALTBLOOD A toxic relationship turns monstrous. An insurance investigator discovers something unthinkable in a decaying English boarding school. And a hungry insomniac gets much more than she bargains for when she falls down a rabbit-hole of cooking videos... Equal parts unsettling, stomach-churning and macabre, and seasoned with a healthy dose of feminist rage, THE NINE O'CLOCK HORSES is perfect for fans of Jonathan Sims, Eliza Clark, Daisy Johnson and The Magnus Archives
If short story collections are like tasting menus... this is definitely one for the carnivores

One of those arrow-laden book promo images for Tradwife Image, titled Tradwife: Deconstructed, shows a thumbnail cover of the book in the centre, with arrows shooting off it promising: fictional true crime feminist rage Handmaid's Tale & Penance vibes found footage format misogynist cults Quote from MJ Mars, reading: "In Cold Blood meets The Stepford Wives"
TRADWIFE Family. Community. Tradition. Annihilation. Everyone remembers the Heart of Solomon murders: three young married couples [REDACTED] around the dinner table, their bodies desecrated, in the UK's first and only purpose-built Tradwife community. And no suspect ever charged. Writer Gina Lewis wants to know. Her plan: talk to the people who knew the three dead couples best, and try to understand what brought them to the Heart of Solomon. Puzzle out why they REDACTED] - and how the "traditional marriage" Arcadia they were promised turned so dangerous, so quickly. And she'll keep going until she finds the truth. No matter what it costs her.
Last day of me trying to persuade you to check out the currently bargain-priced Tradwife!
