"You were the mystery of a place between waking and forgetting. I wore a coat the color of a jewel—you know softness and sheen that’s all dreamy, and one wonders if it’s real? I walked hands in my pockets, and there you were." —A Place Between Waking & Forgetting by Eugen Bacon

You're Invited! 

This Thursday, June 20th is launch day for HOLLOW TONGUE! Join Eden Royce and R.J. Joseph to celebrate the release of this creepy novella.

Hollow Tongue is “…equal parts beautiful and grotesque, with prose so alive it practically leaps off the page. Hauntings both familial and societal are deftly interwoven in this stylish and atmospheric Southern Gothic that feels truly contemporary—and the mystery behind safe box 236 will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the story’s terrifying and shocking conclusion.”

—Catherine Yu, author of Direwood
