Scary Season
Scary season starts next week. This year we’re finally ready for it, with more than 200 copies of Hellarkey volume 4 already out in the world. We announced on social media last week that we were sold out; turns out we were wrong because Lauren Bolger has about 20 copies left from the stock we sent her to send out with The Barre Incidents. So you can actually still buy a copy of Hellarkey, or even better get one free by buying a copy of The Barre Incidents, Lauren’s second horror novel, officially out on 10/1. We have 10 signed copies left and we are 30 orders away from breaking even on the printing costs of this book. Ordering a copy will make your life a little more scare, while making ours a little less so. Pretty good deal. Lauren has been sending out bookmarks and a spinach pie recipe with those signed copies.
