Welcome to a new cover reveal!

Today we have the pleasure of help reveal the cover of Dirt You Shall Become, a new short story collection, written by Karen Lykkebo.

Let's take a look at the blurb:

What terrors hide under the mulch of the compost? What if the weeds aren’t just stubborn - they’re fighting you back. And that garden gnome in the corner by the bush… he’s watching you.

When you spend a little too long caring for your roses, you may suddenly find yourself among them.

Step into four gardens where beauty is deceiving, life becomes death, and the darkness under the dirt is just the beginning…

Dirt You Shall Become will be released the April 22nd, 2025.

Cover design by the own author.
