Hey! I mentioned a few posts ago that Egaeus Press would be publishing another of their beautiful books, Crooked Houses, this one containing my story “Miasmata.” Now, the book is available for pre-order, to be released later this month.
We were asked to contribute stories to this book about hauntings, but not the kind that could be neatly explained. Instead, we were encouraged to consider more ancient terrors, the stuff of folklore and legend, the inexplicable. As Egaeus Press puts it “Though many of the stories presented are set in the modern world, the forces which pervade are primeval, unquantifiable; the stuff of folk-tales, family curses and collective nightmares.”
Only 325 copies are to be printed. Egaeus makes books that are genuine works of art, and they are often snapped up in pre-orders before the release date, so if you’re wavering, I encourage you to get your order in now!
