A fading genre actor and an obsessed fan meet. It’s not Misery at all, it’s Parasocial, the latest graphic novel from the twisted minds of Erica Henderson and Alex de Campi! Parasocial is this creative team’s newest collaboration since their critically acclaimed Dracula, Motherf–r! both published by Image Comics.
Attention fans of #thescottishboy! @unboundbooks are releasing 20 copies of the rare-as-hens-teeth, hardback edition of The Scottish Boy at 8am on Friday (June 23)! Get a copy while you can; while we have plenty of the paperback edition available thanks to a second printing, this may be your last chance ever to get a copy of the hardback. Go here to purchase.
@ericafails and I have a new horror book out in October from @imagecomics & we need YOUR social media handles for our endpaper design! Please LIKE this post to consent to use your @ in PARASOCIAL! (it’ll just say “@ your_name liked this”, nothing weird) — also pls tell a friend / reblog!
We can’t reveal the book’s cover yet but it’s stunning; Erica is doing the work of her life — if you liked our DRACULA, MOTHERF**KER!, you’ll love this.
Oh, also, there’s a soundtrack:
Happy holidays, everyone! There are TWO new episodes of my @webtoon REVERSAL up for your free reading pleasure!

Features lovely art by @skyepatridge and Kelly Fitzpatrick!
Issue 3 of my, Tony Parker, and Blond’s 1970s spy noir THE BRANDENBURG SCHOOL FOR BOYS is up now on Panel Syndicate! Grab all three issues plus its prequel, MAYDAY, for free/pay what you like! And buckle up, both books are wild rides.
The artist Stefanie Grunwald and I made a pixel art choose-your-own-adventure game / music video for Turin Brakes’ new single, “Isolation.” If that sounds like your vibe, go and play.
Hey guess what? I forgot to tell you all about REVERSAL, a webcomic that Skye Patridge, Kelly Fitzpatrick, and I launched on @webtoon and @tapasapp last month! The third episode just dropped — go check it out and subscribe! REVERSAL is free to read!
REVERSAL: Two years ago, magic suddenly, violently became a thing again. Now, Tré Grant is just doing her best to survive sixth grade, which is a little more real than it used to be thanks to the monsters that regularly emerge from the nearby forest to attack her city. But when she discovers a magical artifact that might be the key to lifting the curse on the forest, Tré accidentally becomes the hero the city needs, even if she’s not the one it expects.
You can also find links to the THREE OTHER DIGITAL BOOKS of mine that are free to read right here, on my fancy new website: thriller HEARTBREAK INCORPORATED, spy noir MAYDAY, and action/comedy BAD KARMA.
