Election Retrograde Paperback on Sale Tuesday September 2, 2025

New Cover by Ruth Anna Evans. I’ll send out an official notice on Tuesday.

In the shadowy recesses of Cara's mind, an ancient power has always lurked—a telepathic ability that both blessed and cursed her existence. For years, she shunned the whispers that echoed through the corridors of human consciousness. But when her twin brother Craig, a cog in the vast government machine, stumbles upon a plot so insidious it threatens to unravel the very fabric of reality, Cara is forced to confront the true nature of her gift.

As the twins descend into the labyrinthine depths beneath the Pentagon, they discover a truth far more terrifying than any earthly conspiracy. Here, in the suffocating darkness, writhe entities beyond human comprehension—monstrosities that defy the laws of nature and sanity.

With each step deeper into this realm of cosmic horror, Cara and Craig realize they've become pawns in a game played by forces older than time itself. The creatures that dwell below are not mere monsters, but the architects of a reality-bending scheme that makes the government's plot seem like child's play.

As Election Day looms, the boundary between our world and the realms beyond grows thinner. Cara and Craig must navigate a nightmarish landscape where flesh warps, minds fracture, and the very concept of humanity becomes fluid. Their desperate attempt to thwart both earthly and otherworldly machinations will lead them to the brink of madness—and beyond.

Prepare to question your sanity in this mind-bending fusion of cosmic terror, grotesque body horror, and dark humor. "Election Retrograde" plunges readers into an abyss where the lines between reality and nightmare blur, and where the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Election Day is coming, and with it, a reckoning that will shatter the foundations of existence itself.


Promos

Screams for Sale. The Best Horror at the Best Prices.


Books Read in August:

The Home by Judith Sonnet

(What I loved most about this book was the ending. Don’t get me wrong, the story is a pressure cooker of suspense, but the ending was truly satisfying.)

Extinction Dream by Andrew Najberg. (Andrew really put together a fantastic scifi horror novel. Highly recommended.)
