Periodically, I like to throw out a reminder that I'm still pitching/querying this lovely slice of grief horror featuring an ancient crocodilian god of grief terrorizing a tiny Maine town and a recent widow. Any agents or publishers who might be interested in this?

Nearly missed this milestone over the weekend! We reached 100+ ratings for Undead Folk on Goodreads and that's SO AMAZING! Thanks to everyone who has read and rated so far. Haven't picked it up yet? There's a sequel coming in less than two months! Links in my profile.

Here's my week in a nutshell. I've had terrible body aches, nausea, vomiting, brain fog, exhaustion, and more the last few days. Currently on doxycycline to hopefully kick whatever it is. Stuff is going to be delayed. I've got a lot of things on my docket and this has sidelined me pretty hard.

Remember those *reasons* I needed to sell The Wild Dark paperbacks? A brand new look is coming! This is the cover I designed for the special edition hardback. I felt the paperback and ebook could do with a refresher. Expect these to be available in September for spooky season!

Short and stunning. Grief is at heart in this little book all about not being able to let go to those you've lost. Chapman's writing once again burrows and hooks into the softest places of our bodies with terror and sorrow. @claymcleod.bsky.social

Review love to Stitching Ghost on Goodreads for this lovely review of Undead Folk! "Do you need to be emotionally punched in the gut? If so, read this. The grief here is messy and laced with bone deep anger and it just radiates off the page."

Tales From The City by Shaun Tan is emotional, beautiful, and haunting. The fantasy is realistic and examines humanity in the face of nature and vice-versa. Every story is paired with gorgeous art to further drop you into Tan's dreamlike world. Everyone should read this. It's masterful.

Things you can get for less than a dollar:
🖤Coffee...wait... Nope.
🖤Candy...umm...actually... No, you can't.
🖤Peace of mind... Now that's just crazy. That takes LOTS of therapy, so there's no way that can be right.
🖤This e-book... Yup. Only 99¢.
