For our first cover reveal of 2024 we’re unveiling the artwork created by Lynne Hansen for Asylum, the third book in our novella series, The Selected Papers for the Consortium for the Study of Anomalous Phenomena. “There is something so creepy and yet magical about abandoned spaces like the asylum in Sarah’s book,” said Hansen. “I was so excited to get to create for her story. I became infatuated with the cats that pervade the space, and even included my own cat Chaos amid the colony of feral cats on the cover.” And what does the author think? “I absolutely love the cover! It perfectly conveys the setting of the story. I can almost smell it!” says Sarah Hans. Check out the artwork below and see if you can spot Chaos.
Ashleigh and her little family of misfits are on the run, searching for a new home where they can rest and finally get clean. The police hot on their heels, they flee to the abandoned asylum at the top of the mountain, thinking it’s the perfect starting point for their long road to recovery. They’re ready for this. They long for their new life. The asylum is in disrepair with no running water or electricity. It does provide shelter, but maybe they are not alone in seeking it. If only they’d considered that the darkness they had run to might be even more shadowed than the one they were running from.
Although this is a series, each novella is a separate story and they all stand alone. Get the first 3 books in this series for $30.
