Ants waking cover

Thank you Gabino! Dark fantasy here: โ€œThe streets, the environment Huneke has described definitely gives off a flavour of a dark, miserable Dickens tale. Erica is a very strong protagonist. Sheโ€™s flawed, yes, but passionate and powerful and ambitious.โ€ Review ~booksbyyourbedside

When Up Was Down The stock market was down. Gas prices were up. Home values were down. Inflation was up. Savings were down. Unemployment was up. Production was down. Foreclosure

This satire I published years ago fits the current moment so I have just posted it on my site When Falls the Coliseum for those who like silliness, wordplay, and not being lied to. Also, check out my novels.

On the right is image of misty lamplit street, a hanging pocket watch and the cover of A Fragile Thing.
On the left is the review given by Lee Murray:
One of the most versatile and talented horror writers of our day, Stephanie Ellis shines again, this time with A Fragile Thing, a darkly chilling novel of madness, mind games, and manipulation. Channelling Jekyll and Hyde in Jack the Ripperโ€™s Whitechapel, where science and spiritualism seduce the upper classes and the streets stink of nightwalkers and nightcrawlers, ambitious Isaac Bercow attempts to root out the shadowy manifestations that plague his own psyche. Blurring the lines between illusion and reality, one thing is clear, Ellis dangles our darkest fears before us with mesmerising skill.โ€โ€”Lee Murray, five-time Bram Stoker Awardยฎ-winning author of Grotesque: Monster Stories

Thanks, Gabino!

Gothic horror, A Fragile Thing, is out March 17th.

Isaac Bercow is a man with great aspirations, nothing to lose, and an offer he can't refuse. But the mind is a fragile thing, and fragile things are easily broken.

salmon/cotton candy pink background with a book cover and a cover blurb on it:

book cover:a very washed out/faded picture of a lit-up ferris wheel in a hazy summer sunset, with "Amusement Park Arcana" over it in black writing.

Jennifer R. Donohue is at the bottom.

cover blurb: Riley's best friend Tara went missing last October from the shitty amusement park where she worked. By spring, the police are no closer to having any answers, so Riley's taking it in her own hands.

 She just knows Tara's still at the park somewhere, and an uncanny phone call on Riley's first day as a park employee only confirms that. The quest to bring Tara or her body home draws Riley further from her family and her boyfriend as she spends more time in the park's liminal spaces and opening day looms large.
