May 31st!!!!
It is official… Finally, “Mastering The Art of Female Cookery” will be released under Undertaker Books on May 31st. I am excited to finally see this book getting the love it deserves. This also brings another announcement… I, along with Joe Stout and Rebecca Cuthbert, have begun a small indie horror press called UNDERTAKER BOOKS. Yes, that is correct. Through Undertaker, I will be releasing my horror books, as well as bringing other authors’ work to the marketplace.
I’d like to invite anyone who is interested in horror (which is much more than blood and guts) to sign up for the Undertaker Books newsletter.
Our first release is a gritty Sapphic gothic tale, INK VINE by Elizabeth Broadbent. It’s already garnering stellar reviews on Goodreads. It will be released on April 12, 2024.
Elizabeth Broadbent’s INK VINE
Bisexual stripper Emmy has lived her whole life in a small Southern town with a few rules: Listen to your mama; don’t kiss girls; and stay the hell out of the swamp. Sick of all three, she sneaks under the dark tree-canopy behind her family trailer, where she meets Zara—mysterious, elusive, tattooed Zara, the first girl she dares to kiss.
But the small-town South hates a woman who dares to dance instead of plucking chickens for minimum wage, and as Emmy’s life falls apart, her relationship with Zara grows more tangled and bizarre. Zara’s offering something beautiful. But while Emmy’s slowly strangling, its price may be more than she’s willing to pay.
Shifting between the green-bright cypress cathedral and the dreamland of a dance club, Broadbent’s unforgettably-voiced debut confronts the brutal realities of poverty in the South, with a sapphic tale both sultry and sinister, gritty and gothic.
Also on the menu… Tentative release date of April 30 is the release of the “DELICIOUS” edition of The Taste of Women. This special edition hardcover will contain both the novel, The Taste of Women, and the novella, Dying To Meat You. Once the preorders are live, I’ll send out links.
Thanks for sticking around.
