Here's the Thing...

Today's the cover reveal for THE THING IN YELLOW, my thirteen-story collection/homage to the classic Chambers book from 1895! I'm a big fan of THE KING IN YELLOW so this was a labor of love for me, the culmination of a project I'd first begun in 2017, when the concept popped into my head.

Normally, I don't take so long from concept to execution, but I let this one marinate for a time, wrote the stories in it over the past five years, until I was satisfied with the end result.

I'm excited for readers to dig into it when it launches February 28! The stories are interwoven and interconnected within the overarching themes and motifs of the Yellow King mythos. The stories are:

THE YELLOW JOURNALIST
SECOND ACT
GILDING LILY
THE WOUND ON THE WORLD
ENSHRINED
THE STARVING ARTIST
THE EYE IN THE SKY
THE THING IN YELLOW
PALLID MASQUERADE
YELLOWJACKET
THE YIELDING PILLAR
AN INKLING
DEVOID.

I hope people enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! Most of my writing output these days is novels and novellas; I haven't done a short story collection in over eight years, but I still love short stories, and this collection crackles, has lots of easter eggs and cross-references (both within the collection and with THE KING IN YELLOW), and was a blast to write.

Cannot wait for this one to come out!
