Dark fossil colour-way of the repeat pattern I designed for author @carterkeane.bsky.social as part of the rollout for her upcoming debut horror novella โ€œMORSELโ€ (Tor Nightfire 2026) ๐ŸŽจ

Swatch card of my cicada ohio themed repeat pattern for horror author Carter Keane. White rectangle swatch card with the text Plot description for the horror novella MORSEL by Carter Keane for Tor Nightfire on top of the repeat cicada pattern in the dark fossil colour way. Text reads โ€œThe Blair Witch Project meets The Ritual, with a generous helping of The Menu, in Morsel, a delicious folk horror novella perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Cassandra Khaw, and Paul Tremblay. Lou did what the children of parents with back breaking, poor paying jobs are supposed to do; pulled up her bootstraps, went to college, and got an office job with coworkers who won'trstop talking about their multi-level marketing scheme disguised as self-betterment Determined to lift her ill mother out of poverty before it's too late, and in the spirit of climbing the corporate ladder, Lou accepts an assignment in the rural hills of Ohio. She quickly finds herself stranded in the middle of nowhere with ra sabotaged truck, a dog she's determined to keep safe, and something stalking her through the ancient Appalachian woods. If she can't escape the woods in time, she's going to find out that her job isn't the only thing that wants to eat her alive. Morsel is a chilling testament to the burden of generational poverty and the all-consuming nature of capitalism, whereยฎ the monster and the monstrous, in the end, are not the same. Out April 2026!โ€ Cover of the horror novella MORSEL by Carter Keane for Tor Nightfire with annotations of story element highlights on top of the repeat cicada pattern I created in the dark fossil colour way

Dark fossil colour-way of the repeat pattern I designed for author @carterkeane.bsky.social as part of the rollout for her upcoming debut horror novella โ€œMORSELโ€ (Tor Nightfire 2026) ๐ŸŽจ

Swatch card of my cicada ohio themed repeat pattern for horror author Carter Keane. White rectangle swatch card with the text Plot description for the horror novella MORSEL by Carter Keane for Tor Nightfire on top of the repeat cicada pattern in the dark fossil colour way. Text reads โ€œThe Blair Witch Project meets The Ritual, with a generous helping of The Menu, in Morsel, a delicious folk horror novella perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Cassandra Khaw, and Paul Tremblay. Lou did what the children of parents with back breaking, poor paying jobs are supposed to do; pulled up her bootstraps, went to college, and got an office job with coworkers who won'trstop talking about their multi-level marketing scheme disguised as self-betterment Determined to lift her ill mother out of poverty before it's too late, and in the spirit of climbing the corporate ladder, Lou accepts an assignment in the rural hills of Ohio. She quickly finds herself stranded in the middle of nowhere with ra sabotaged truck, a dog she's determined to keep safe, and something stalking her through the ancient Appalachian woods. If she can't escape the woods in time, she's going to find out that her job isn't the only thing that wants to eat her alive. Morsel is a chilling testament to the burden of generational poverty and the all-consuming nature of capitalism, whereยฎ the monster and the monstrous, in the end, are not the same. Out April 2026!โ€ Cover of the horror novella MORSEL by Carter Keane for Tor Nightfire with annotations of story element highlights on top of the repeat cicada pattern I created in the dark fossil colour way
