Book cover for Afterlives: The Year’s Best Death Fiction 2024, curated by Sheree Renée Thomas. The artwork shows a mysterious, ethereal figure with an expressionless face emerging from a cosmic, star-filled void. Their head is adorned with golden strands and an ornate winged ornament resembling a falcon. Behind them looms three large, spectral birds,one centered and two flanking, blending into a swirling purple and black nebula.

all the animals and vegetables in @aimeeogdenwrites.com's novella STARSTRUCK watching the sky like
cover of the Evanescence single "Bring Me To Life" (we assume), it's a picture of Amy Lee, very pale face, looking directly at the camera and a film strip type of effect below her. Above it says "Evanescence" in the bands font, which is very swirly and somewhat gothy. Below the middle of the image where the band is, again white background and black text it says "Bring Me To LIfe"

"...then you actually get into the content of this book and it is quite upsetting, not in like a grim, dark horror kind of way, in a very like emotional, quiet, personal kind of way."

....yeeaahhh....
