THE GOD PROVIDES IS OUT NOW!
The latest book from Thomas R Clark, the author of Bella's Boys and The Death List, has just unleashed his newest, wildly imaginative, and terrifying epic through St Rooster Books and is already wracking up the 5 star reviews!
The God Provides is a splatter-folk journey through time, featuring incredible interior illustrations by Stephanie Murr, award nominated cover artist and illustrator.
The foothills of Upstate New York are alive with something terrifying. It hunts, it tempts, it traps, and there’s no escape. Thomas R Clark re-invents Irish Mythology and takes you on a bloody, emotional, and horrific journey back through time with the tale of the McEntire clan, and the devastating secrets they hold. The author of the Splatterpunk Awards nominated Bella’s Boys: A Tale of Cosmic Horror has crafted a story that’s part The Wicker Man and part Cycle of the Werewolf, but at the same time like nothing you’ve read before.
Available through Amazon in paperback and the Kindle and through Barnes & Noble in paperback, hardcover, and The Nook. (as of posting this the B&N editions are still processing, but The Nook version works just fine.) Get your copy HERE.

OPEN SUBMISSION CALL! ST ROOSTER BOOKS is PUBLISHING an ANTHOLOGY of SEA HORROR!
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR; Horror stories set in or around the ocean (fishing villages, coastal town, an island, etc-so long as the central action heavily figures in the ocean). I'm not saying NO to Lovecraftian horror, partly because its hard to escape Lovecraft's influence over aquatic horror, but there are numerous Lovecraftian anthologies out there, so dig deep if you involve the Deep Ones, Cthulhu, etc. What I will say no to is anything racist, sexist, homophobic, or transphobic. Splatterpunk and extreme horror are welcome, but I draw the line at rape-centric/rape revenge stories written by men. That's always been a personal line for me. Give me gothic period pieces, blood and guts, shark attacks, ghosts, modern tales of madness, weird sci-fi horror, dystopia...Go nuts! And spread the word, I'd love to get a lot more submissions from women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ community.
WORD COUNT; 3-5k words.
PAY; Flat $20
DEADLINE; May 1st.
SEND TO; tim-murr@live.com
