Welcome to a new cover reveal!

Today we have the pleasure of help reveal the cover of Parasitic Omens, a novella part of the Gods of Dallamar series, written by Jessica A. McMinn.

Let's take a look at the blurb:

In the world of the occult, new is never good.

As one of Copperton's hardworking investigators, Lawrence Reed has seen it all: vampires, werewolves, warlocks and witches.

When a monstrous creature crawls from the corpse of a mutilated girl, Law is determined to find answers—with or without payment.

Ignoring advice to leave the mystery alone, he sets out to uncover the details of the girl's death. But the deeper he digs, the more questions he unearths.

Can Law bring peace to the dead girl's family? Or will his investigation open the door to far darker discoveries?

Only one certainty remains: monsters aren’t the only evil stalking the streets of Copperton.

Parasitic Omens is a gaslamp fantasy horror, perfect for fans of TV's Supernatural and From Software's cult classic video game, Bloodborne.  

Parasitic Omens will be released the 27th May, 2025. You can already pre-order it.
