Mr. Ugly is Unleashed Upon the World!

The day is finally here!

Mr. Ugly is off the leash.

May his reign be long and brutal.

A malicious entity roams the country, possessing whomever it pleases and forcing them to kill in the most sadistic ways imaginable. Gertie, a powerful psychic, has been chasing this specter for years. It has taken everything from her, and she'll stop at nothing to end its trail of terror for good.

Janelle is an ordinary teenager until the night she and her friends are attacked by a lunatic on the highway. In the aftermath, the boy she loves begins acting like someone else. At first, she thinks he's struggling to cope with the trauma, but soon learns something far more sinister is at work.

Detective Ray Alverson heads the investigation into the highway attack. Since taking the case, he's been having visions he can't explain. As the body count rises in his once-quiet town, he must embrace the gift he's been running from his entire life—even as it threatens to destroy him.

In the fight against unspeakable evil, these three strangers will sacrifice more than they could ever imagine. But evil has plans of its own, and it is growing stronger…

 

Deathform Paperback Temporarily Unavailable, But Will Be Back Soon!

in

For the next few days, the paperback version of Deathform will not appear on Amazon. There was a minor formatting issue in the early pages, so my publisher has sent a corrected version to be re-processed. It usually takes around five days, at which point the paperback will go live again.

It's actually pretty cool to me that this is possible. I wish we had caught the issue before the book went up, but just a few years ago, any error would have been immortalized in print until there was a second run of the book. Kinda nifty that print-on-demand services allow books to be more like living documents now.

As soon as I see the paperback is up again, I'll let you know.

In the meantime, you can still buy the book on Kindle.

Deathform Cover Reveal #sci-fi #thriller #horror #fiction

After some collaborative back-and-forth with Severed Press, which included me sending three terrible pencil drawings that are too embarrassing to share, we have it. The cover.

Check it out:

I love it. The lighting, the design of the spacesuit, the otherness of the creature, and its explosive violence. I hope it gets your imagination going. More importantly, I hope it makes you want to read the book. It's a pretty good representation of what the novel has in store. I'm not certain who the artist is, but I'll ask.

Severed Press has informed me that the book may be released on Amazon as early as next week. I don't yet have an exact date, and I may not have one right up until the release, but if I learn anything, I'll keep you posted. I'm looking into holding a small release party at an indie bookstore near me, but I don't know if this is possible given the constraints. Severed Press is based out of Tasmania, and most of their sales are in eBook format or print-on-demand, so we'll see. I'd like to do something semi-official to kick things off. Check back for details.
