Friday The 13th x Holes

Framed for shoplifting Taylor is given a choice, work at Camp Lanier or jail. No brainer, right? The judge forgot to mention:

🏕️All the missing kids
🏕️The screams in the dead of night
🏕️A masked psycho on the loose
🏕️& Ghosts?

Jail is sounding pretty good.

CABIN IN THE WOODS X JOHN DIES AT THE END X KNIVES OUT

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must use their years of TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly-written campaign.
#QuestPit #A #H #MY #W
moodboard layout with 9 squares 3 x 3, 6 have over the top terrified men (the dads), along the top and bottom 3 squares. Blood decal drips from top squares through the middle to the bottom ones. A Victorian mansion silhouette sits in the middle most left square, the title DAD BODIES in the middle, and right of that is the silhouette of a d20 with a skull icon showing.

Catherine is a mother without a family in the apocalypse. Her mission? To reunite with her boys before she loses herself in the darkness of a broken world.

The only things standing in her way:
The Dead
The Distance
& A Cannibalistic Circus

Step Right Up
The Ringmaster’s Waiting.
A promotional image for Planet Dead by Sylvester Barzey. The book cover is displayed with bold, fiery lettering and an apocalyptic scene. Two women stand in the foreground, facing a horde of zombies. The background glows orange, hinting at chaos and destruction. A quote reads: 'Michonne of The Walking Dead and Selena from 28 Days Later have a new heroine to welcome to the club in Catherine' ~Horror, Sci-Fi, & More. The image has a torn paper effect around the edges, giving it a gritty, survivalist feel.

What book are you starting off 2025 with?

CAMP LANIER by @sylvesterbarzey.bsky.social - being from (loosely defined) the Atlanta area, I'm well acquainted with Lake Lanier lore (it's even namechecked in TLGOWP). You do not f with that lake. Can't wait to see what this book does with it!
Cover of Camp Lanier by Sylvester Barzey shows a house submerged beneath a lake at night, with blood rising through the water to the surface
