Cover reveal and preorder for The Nightmare Box and Other Stories!
Last year we announced Cynthia Gómez’s debut collection The Nightmare Box and Other Stories and even posted an interview with her about ACAB horror, queer history, magic, and her influences for the collection. If you’ve got a few minutes, give that interview a read; Cynthia is brilliant and incredibly thoughtful.
Now it’s time to reveal the cover for The Nightmare Box and Other Stories, designed by the wonderfully talented Luísa Dias, who we also worked with for Bitter Apples. For this cover, Luísa took inspiration from the titular story “The Nightmare Box”—which also happens to be my favorite in the collection, though all of them are bangers, obviously.
This cover perfectly captures the feeling of both this story and the collection as a whole: darkness, magic, and history all swirling together into something sinister and enchanting.
Luísa’s design for the back cover is equally stunning. Give the back cover text a read for a few tantalizing story previews!
Cynthia and I are so pleased with the cover, and we can’t wait for folks to hold these beautiful books in their hands.
Speaking of which…
It’s preorder time!
The Nightmare Box and Other Stories officially comes out July 9th, but you can preorder it today. You can find the book in all the usual places, of course, but the best way to support Cursed Morsels Press is by ordering it directly from us. We’ll even throw in a free Solidarity Forever zine—Cynthia chose this awesome theme—as a bonus for supporting us directly.
With all that said, here are a few places you can preorder from:
And remember—preorders are the best way to show an author some love, especially for their debut collection.
Reviews later on are also appreciated, which is why we’d love for you to add the book on Goodreads and let readers know your thoughts.
We’re sure you’ll love this one!
