Chaos Cat Creative is proud to present our first publication, the debut novel from our founders @marbach.bsky.social and @rwmeadors.bsky.social

THE MAJOR ARCANA: Coming April 7, 2026

A huge thank you to Lizbe Coetzee for the amazing cover design! Find her on instagram: @bookcoversbylizbe
THE MAJOR ARCANA by Jason Marbach & R.W. Meadors, on sale April 7th, 2026 Cover design by Lizbe Coetzee. Find her on instagram: @bookcoversbylizbe THE MAJOR ARCANA by Jason Marbach & R.W. Meadors, on sale April 7th, 2026 Cover design by Lizbe Coetzee. Find her on instagram: @bookcoversbylizbe THE MAJOR ARCANA by Jason Marbach & R.W.

Meadors, on sale April 7th, 2026 The blurb (featured on the back cover of the book) reads as follows: “There is a house deep in the bayous outside of New Orleans where reality itself is often more a suggestion than a rule. There, the ghosts of Louisiana drift amidst the cypress roots, thick as fireflies. Those who dwell between the puddles and the boughs feel the spirits upon their skin like sweat, ever-present and inescapable. But sometimes, a restless spirit might become something more. Sometimes, a restless spirit might cause a man to break. Nineteen years ago, long before he rose to become a Homicide Detective, Eric Riley helped end the notorious Bayou Phantom’s killing spree at great personal cost. Now the past is refusing to stay buried, bringing his old nightmares back to the surface. Today, a killer is leaving a trail of bodies all around New Orleans once more. All of it feels far too familiar to Riley: the ritualistic poses, the MO, the sensations of dread and helplessness tickling the back of his neck like a demon’s breath. In mounting desperation, Riley is examining the secrets of the past, seeking new information that may help him stop the killer. With each new victim, the personal stakes climb higher, and Eric finds that looking back may prove more dangerous than anyone could possibly have realized. Has the Bayou Phantom returned to haunt the Crescent City? Or is something even darker lurking beneath the muddy water, waiting to pull Riley under for good?”

We promise you, dear reader, we will never, ever print any of our books with garlic-scented ink.

no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask
A screenshot from Publisher's Lunch: Jennifer L. Armentrout and Hellmann's In a promotion designed for BookTok enjoyment, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s just-published THE PRIMAL OF BLOOD AND BONE is available in a special, limited-edition "garlic-scented copy, infused with Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli to create a one-of-a-kind, Craven-proof book." They explain: "This exclusive edition is printed with garlic-infused ink, designed to ward off Armentrout’s bloodthirsty monsters, the Craven. While humans may dread garlic breath, Hellmann’s has cleverly transformed this social faux pas into an unexpected – and delicious – form of supernatural protection."
