Crimson blooms against black,
kaleidoscope nightmare
baring its teeth
biting into the
beat of my heart
which slows
and stills
and stops

There IS a paperback of Rat-She but scheduled date has gone a bit awry at KDP, currently sorting it out with them now.
Don't normally schedule pbs and now I remember why 😅

Promo graphic showing book, Rat-She on left against an apocalyptic background. On the right is this blurb:
RAT-SHE is a paranoid tale of survival and metamorphosis in a post-apocalyptic, Boschian landscape--a world made unrecognizable by atrocity and a species forever altered in wondrous and horrific fashion. Stephanie Ellis has a knack for making the most ruthless of scenarios read like unfolding folklore, and RAT-SHE is a fine demonstration of that. This tale mesmerized me and creeped me the hell out in equal measure.
Shane D. Keene, Elgin and Dwarf Stars nominated poet
Some lovely words from @mothfrenzy.bsky.social for Rat-She.
Gave me an excuse to start playing with graphics. And, as always, no AI involved in any of this. Book cover by me.

States of Grace by Stephen Graham Jones
Every time bookmail shows up at the house, my son says, "Mom, you got some more Stephen Graham Jones."
I like it. And approximately half the time, he's right 😂

This is wonderful. Go in thinking, "kindly, well spoken British librarian," walk out going, "what just happened to me?" Love this, Steph.
