Rat-She book is shown on the left. Blurb by Shane Douglas Keene on the right:

RAT-SHE is a paranoid tale of survival and metamorphosis in a post-apocalyptic, Boschian landscape--a world made unrecognizable by atrocity and a species forever altered in wondrous and horrific fashion. Stephanie Ellis has a knack for making the most ruthless of scenarios read like unfolding folklore, and RAT-SHE is a fine demonstration of that. This tale mesmerized me and creeped me the hell out in equal measure.

Shane D. Keene, Elgin and Dwarf Stars nominated poet

Got a wonderfully insightful review over on Gingernuts of Horror!
β€œIf the idea of a psychological, structurally ambitious, genre-blending story intrigues you, if you’re the type who craves a why behind the ghost that’s smarter than a murderer, this house is waiting.”

If you're somewhere snowy and it's getting to you, why not take an excursion to a warm cave on a distant planet with plenty of hot coffee and floral art to make you think of spring? Nothing will go wrong. Probably.

Firebird Book Award and Independent Press Award winner.

THE MONSTERS AMONG US is cinematic dark fantasy novel brimming with twists, tension, and high stakes. Unapologetically neurodivergent. Ruthlessly anti-authoritarian. Fully unique and thought provoking.
