Astrophobia releases in 12 days! My story is "To the Crust":

When contract miner Mist encounters a fungal slime deep within the crust of the volcanic planet where she’s stationed, she’s immediately whisked away for disposal. The sentient fungus that’s taking over her body, though, has other ideas

Pitched as Event Horizon x Star Trek, METROPOLIS DOWN by @vesperdoom.bsky.social is a sci-fi horror novel with a m/m second-chance romance, cosmic horrors, and a city within a spaceship.

I've been obsessed with this cover since I first saw it and I'm so excited to be able to help with its reveal 🤩
Background is dark with spotlights framing a book cover. The cover shows an angled view of a neon-lit city within a spaceship and stars beyond. The title is METROPOLIS DOWN and the author is VESPER DOOM. Above the cover it says COVER REVEAL and below it says ART BY RONNIE JENSEN.
