-Shirley Jackson Award Win-

Congratulations to Eden Royce on her novella, HOLLOW TONGUE, winning the Shirley Jackson award! This is the first time a book published by Raw Dog Screaming Press has won a Shirley Jackson Award (though BLACK CRANES, which we re-released, also received it). That makes this win extra special for the whole team. When we started a novella line we had no idea where it would take us!

Now for a limited time you can buy a copy of HOLLOW TONGUE and receive a FREE novella from the same series: ORDER HERE.

-2 Covers Revealed-

This month we revealed the covers for two upcoming poetry collections. The cover for VELLUM LEAVES & LETTERED SKINS by Colleen Anderson was created by the illustrator of The Handmaid's Tale graphic novel, Renee Ault while author Shannon Kearns created the painting for the cover of THE UTERUS IS AN IMPOSSIBLE FOREST. Both books are now available for a preorder discount.
