MOONGLOW

Tired of hooking up with married "straight" men at bars, Russ gives online dating a try. This is how he meets Jacob: a handsome older man with a nice voice, great taste in vacation destinations, and a handful of shared interests.Jacob is also a little bit odd, not caring about the dead bug in his drink and all, but he's at least not as odd as the locals in his hometown of Saddle Rock, Massachusetts.Maybe it's small town living, or maybe it's something to do with what's glistening underneath the surface, just offshore.

Mitch Miller's debut, MOONGLOW is a queer, horror story set along the haunting edges of the Eastern Seaboard.

Cherry kicks Red Meat

A baton to the skull was Tom's welcome home gift after crash-landing into the Pacific Ocean. It was well deserved after daring to ask for water on that scorching, California boulevard.But trigger-happy law enforcement, windshield-cracking heat, and an unassuming man with serial killer glasses and a taste for Vinyl records were the least of Commander Thomas H. Caval's worries.The wailing was knocking on the cabin door, and he hadn't heard from Bill in days.

CHERRY KICKS RED MEAT is an apocalyptic horror story for fans of THE HAPPENING and NBC's HANNIBAL, and features a trans man protagonist alongside a majority queer cast.

When a dancing mob feeds a woman to the food court escalator, security guard Shaw Price knows he is in for the worst shift of his life. Visitors speak in tongues. Somewhere in the building, a man has been scalped by a floor polisher. The security cameras have gone rogue, and strange, small objects reject visual perception.But Shaw can’t focus beyond the insatiable hunger driving him mad. While he could blame it on a late coming-of-age, the last time he checked, visions of his supervisor gloating over the bodies of missing girls isn’t exactly a common side-effect of teenage hormones.And then there’s the whole thing about the mall maybe being alive.

MONITORED ACTIVITY is a queer, sci-fi horror novella set in the early 2000s. Perfect for fans of THE BACKROOMS and digital indie horror.

3,000 Tongues

When rumors of a dead goat gain national attention, a battalion of news reporters descend on Don Óscar's property for an interview with the reclusive farmer. However, from within the sea of cameras emerges something far worse: an American reality television crew looking to capture footage of the elusive Chupacabra.Local hospitality and good food stir more than just a good time when the tropical night goes deathly silent, and the monster relegated to the realm of folklore bares the extent of its influence among its people.

3,000 TONGUES is folk horror short set in Puerto Rico.

BOOK COVERS

BECAUSE GRAPHIC DESIGN IS MY PASSION

At least, let me put my three years of Graphic Design to use.
Also I really like making covers.

I get it. You're an indie author, not a graphic designer-agent-marketer-accountant-secretary-influencer.
You want to write, not worry over how to use art programs, or ways to make sure the text on your cover is legible. You're also a decent human being who is actively against generative-AI, and appreciates art made by other human beings. Well, I've got you covered.

Each high quality cover is custom made, guaranteeing a first impression that reflects the story within!

Multiple images, textures, and fonts are chosen based on your story description.

Two drafts are then provided, allowing you to choose the better fit. The selected draft is then modified, presented to you for final approval, and done! You receive a print-ready file to your email.

Each cover comes with an extra file formatted for itch.io.

No AI-generated assets, no Canva, no default fonts, and rights for commercial use are all yours!
