Cover Reveal for my next book!! (Patreon)

Very excited to reveal the cover for my next book, Quaint Folk, coming in October 2026! If you enjoyed the queer psycho-sexual violence and gore of Moonflow but wondered what would it look through the prism of 1970s British folk horror... well, then you're in luck! Because that's exactly what Quaint Folk is about!

The Wicker Man meets The Twisted Ones in Bitter Karella’s Quaint Folk—a queer folk horror novel that peels back the idyllic veneer of a seemingly perfect island town to reveal the rot beneath. From the outside, it looks like Jessica has the perfect life. She's a stay-at-home mom, married to a man with a respectable job, raising a son they adore. Her family is as wholesome as all-American pie. But deep down, Jessica knows there's something wrong with her; she knows she can't escape her past. When her husband’s job has them move abroad, Jessica thinks this is her chance for a fresh start. On the remote island of Hasenhurst, the modern world can’t get in. The people there grow their own herbs, make their own jam, and mind their own business. They believe in folk tales and the power of dreams. They tell visitors, we’re a quaint, quiet people.The right sort of family would do well here.Jessica is determined to be the right kind of person for a family—and a life—like this. But as she tries to befriend the townsfolk and learn their ways, she soon realizes that beneath the town’s cozy idyll, something sickly-sweet and rotten lays buried… 

For those of you who want to get in on the ground floor, you can already pre-order Quaint Folk from the Hachette website and I would definitely do that if I were you! I mean, why not? XD
