My second surreal horror - Sempiternal - is officially released today! I've been very happy to see early reviews of this book describe it as unsettling and beautifully horrific - if you want to experience this fever dream yourself, I'll link to its Amazon page in reply here.

I am always in awe of the tremendous amount of talent in the #horrorcommunity. No matter what the sub-genre of horror you can find an author who completely captivates you.

I think #novellas are the ideal format for #horror, they are short, intense, and breathtaking. Its just the right length to read on a stormy night, on a plane, or tucked away for the weekend.

It's #NovellaNovember all month...come find yourself your next favorite author:

Some of Your Blood - Theodore Sturgen
Killer Delivery - Calum France
The Weejee Man - NP Cunniffe @np_cunniffe
Monster of the Loch - Lucas Pederson @pederson_lucas

Finally read the Southern Reach trilogy by @jeffvandermeer and these books have made a great impression. A combination of surreal and cosmic horror that works brilliantly well, I think I've found three new favourite books, and they'll be on my mind for a long time.

[Michael F Simpson @MichaelFSimpson]

Happy to announce that my second book, Sempiternal, is now available to preorder on Amazon! If ARCs are more your thing, it shall hopefully be available to read on NetGalley too before much longer!
