Top: the cover art of This Movie Doesn't End the Way We Want by Hailey Piper, art by Julia Lloyd, coming from Titan Books on September 15th. Text besides it: in 1994, three girls go to the movies. Only one comes out. 30 years later, the movie isn't done with her. Bottom: the cover art of She Isn't Herself Tonight by Hailey Piper, art by Caroline Johnson, coming from Saga Press on October 27th. Text besides it: alien abductions, a break-up from hell, and what you become when your worst enemy is yourself.
