Launch date!
Oct 06, 2023 5:01 pm
Welcome to October!
Spooky Season is here!
I've got some frights, some treats, and a launch date for Fairy Tales and Nightmares for you, so read on...
----------------------------------------------
After a small snafu, Fairy Tales and Nightmares (Entangled Nightmares #2) is in the final publishing stages and will be releasing on October 27th. So expect an extra announcement or two this month in your emails when it launches.
Here's a little teaser promo.
(And it's actually three dead husbands; I forgot to add one in the graphic)
Sometimes happily ever after just means surviving...
Nine fairy tales reimagined within the worlds of horror, history and mythology.
What if the Wicked Queen fell in love with Snow White? Or if Sleeping Beauty’s curse came with a beast? And how far would someone go to avenge their family or escape to freedom?
Gone are the damsels in distress and the heroic princes, this is the grim world of folklore where monsters roam or a princess can be the champion of her own fate. No one is coming to save these characters, but they’ll fight their way out of madness and terror or die trying.
This book upturns your favourite tales and retells them with a horror spin, weaving them into such diverse historical settings as feudal Japan, the ancient Roman Empire, and Celtic Ireland.
Fairy Tales and Nightmares is an electrifying collection that harkens back to fairy tale origins and will haunt your dreams.
Plus the first book in the Entangled Nightmares series, Visions and Nightmares, will be on sale, not once but twice this month. It will be 99 cents from Oct. 10-15th for October Frights, and again for the Fairy Tales and Nightmares Launch from October 24th-31st.
Visions and Nightmares by A. F. Stewart
With the odds stacked against them, can these ten women survive... or will they succumb to the threat of revenge, fate, and death?
Step through a looking glass of dark horrors with an Alice you never knew.
Join Zenna in seeking the truth before she succumbs to her deadly magic.
Journey with Olivia as she crosses paths with a monster of the forest and runs for her life.
Watch Isobel summon the faerie to solve her problem of an unwanted husband.
Shiver as Doctor Killbride experiments with corpses to create life from death.
Wander into the realm of the old gods with Elenora, who yearns for escape.
All that and more await within the pages. In the twilight shadows, secrets are revealed in the whispers of madness and the world shifts… Who will persevere? Who will fall? And who will succumb to their inner evil?
