DAILY HORROR STUFF | Michael Sellars | Author

Delighted to share for the first time, the cover to my forthcoming horror novel, CHOKING HAZARDS🚬, courtesy of Luke Bird, the 2026 British Book Awards winner for Designer of the Year.

Here's the blurb from publishers Dead Ink (and the pre-order link is in the comments below):

Someone's trying to hide a crime... and they're using Madeline's body to do it.

As if living with the consequences of her vindictive ex-husband's manipulation wasn't enough to have her questioning reality, strange objects have begun to manifest on the back of her tongue. A cigarette butt. Someone else's tooth. A set of severed fingers...

CHOKING HAZARDS 🚬 is a grisly, stomach-turning blitz of a horror-thriller from author Michael Sellars. Perfect for readers who love Grady Hendrix and Paul Tremblay and available to pre-order now! Link below! Support your indie creators!

Wishing Ian Miller a very happy 80th birthday.

Here's his cover art for the 1974 Panther edition of H.P. Lovecraft's The Haunter of the Dark and Other Tales.

This is the 'piano wire death scene' from Wishmaster (1997).

It isn't even the most batsh*t death in the movie.😆

Two amazing apocalyptic zombie horror movies were released in 2016. Train to Busan and The Girl with All the Gifts.

But which was best?

I'd have to go with Train to Busan, but honestly it's almost impossible to get a cigarette paper between the two.

I've always wondered what 'Distribution' (seen here betting on 'Vampires' on the Cabin in the Woods betting board) actually distribute. Doesn't it imply that the organisation has a product of some sort?

What could it be?
