Hails, lovely Booksellers!
We can't help but strut a bit when one of our books gets some much-deserved acclaim, and this past weekend at BizarroCon in Portland, Oregon, Mo Moshaty's CLAIRVIOLENCE: TALES OF TAROT AND TORMENT picked up the Wonderland Book Award for Best Collection!
Mo is also nominated for a Stoker Award** next month for her non-fiction work, so it's a great time to talk to your customers about this incredible woman, one of the hardest working creators in horror academia, criticism, film and prose.
**Mo will be in attendance at StokerCon, holding down operations at the Black Women in Horror table as well as popping up on various panels, so if you happen to be there, go tell her hi and congratulations!

About CLAIRVIOLENCE:
The Tarot holds mystery, prediction, and unsettling omens for those who practice, divine, or are sensitive to it.
A turn of the cards weaves CLAIRVIOLENCE through space and time to delve into the stories of those shaken by life-shattering choices that threaten to tear their souls apart:
A warring couple is forced to reconcile during the end of the world.
A young man is drawn into the surreal prison-scape of an elderly woman.
A dead woman’s curse travels miles and decades to bring her killer to justice.
CLAIRVIOLENCE unearths one novelette and ten short stories—each one exclusive to this volume—beneath the exterior of an otherwise charmed and quiet existence.

One summer afternoon, Santi and Maria's daughter disappears without a trace from a public park. A fruitless investigation passes, the agony only serving to tear Santi’s life and family further apart.
Months go by, and Santi finally stumbles upon a clue: it is hardly a name, barely a whisper, but it is enough to reveal a haunting legacy and unleash an entirely new kind of horror upon the despairing young father:
“He Who Does Not Speak With Children.”
"Tenebrous went for broke here and this is by far their best. A painstaking, demented journey...The final pages will leave you staring into the abyss, where hope and horror blur together in the most devastating way."
