The fist page of my story London Calling: Lamp-lit London was a dog-licked tomb: above and beneath the bribe-greased streets were pigs, pigs, pigs

Oh absolutely. If I was an indie author I would definitely self pub before anything else. Sorry that happened to you!
Yeah. Stuff like this makes me ill. I didn't know it happened to you before!
It's all deja vu with CM/Hedone and just brings up a familiar disappointment all over again.
Authors that were orphaned, you can always reach out to Truborn and see if your stories fit in here. Or I can help you try to find homes elsewhere.
Unfortunately small presses close all the time, and their baby bird books need to find a new nest. My fledgling sun-vampire queer cannibal novella, SUNBATHERS, now needs a new home, as does my sapphic pirate novella QUEEN O'NINE TAILS.
If you know a toothy little home for either, please hit me up!
Early readers have spoken. So much dread.
“It’s a literary achievement of the highest order… epic, cosmic horror and existential dread.”

This past year with has been wild! 8 weird, emotional & unhinged books released into the world. I’m so proud of each one and so grateful for everyone who’s read, shared, reviewed, or supported this little indie horror press.
Here’s to even more strange stories ahead.
🖤Embrace Your Strange.
FYI: We love our horror blockbusters, but we also need to shine some more light (and love) on these indie gems! Add these to your watchlist immediately. How many have you already seen?
I use Vellum sometimes but a story I need to format for epub is different. It has redacted blacked out words and special formatting that's not traditional. 🤔 I'm looking to h!re someone who can do it if it's possible.
It’s here!
