I am completely enamored with the cover for my upcoming horror collection, DREAD SOFTLY. My cover artist fully captured the surreal mood of these 11 stories, and the more I look at it, the more I seem to discover. And then I just squeal with excitement because not only am I finally reaching that milestone of releasing my debut horror collection, but the cover for it is so incredibly gorgeous!!!

DREAD SOFTLY is coming September 14 and is now available for pre-order wherever ebooks are sold!

About the Book
A woman struggles to outsmart the demon who bargained for her father’s soul. An elderly shut-in with a monstrous secret is tormented by a door-to-door salesman. Six-eyed creatures congregate on the ceiling of a remote bungalow, puzzling a newly rescued tabby cat. An imp’s loyalties are torn between a vulnerable child and the god of dreams.
In her debut horror collection, award-winning author Caryn Larrinaga spreads her nightmares under your feet. Fed by the dread her anxiety brings her, each of these eleven tales is a journey into an unsettling universe just parallel to our own—one populated by haunted objects, unwanted urges, and creatures from beyond human understanding. Dread softly.
