🎃🍁 It’s finally October! 🦇🕷️

Welcome the spooky season with OCTOBER SHADOWS, the new ghostly anthology curated and illustrated by .a.rice!

NYC friends, meet John at his signing on 10/8 at ! He’ll also have mini art prints available, free with your purchase while supplies last.

This beautiful volume features thirteen classic ghost stories, illustrated with hauntingly beautiful artworks painted on autumn leaves. Each of these eerie tales—by authors including Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, and Edith Nesbit—explores the unexplained and the macabre, the supernatural encounters that can occur when the veil is thin. Each artwork is shown twice: once at the beginning of the story, and once at the end, transformed—like the face of a jack-o’-lantern—by backlighting, the light bleeding through the leaf and transforming the colors. The perfect read for a chilly autumn night!

OCTOBER SHADOWS is available now whenever fine books are sold!
