Cover Reveal – OUR OWN UNIQUE AFFLICTION

Today we are revealing the full cover wrap for Scott J. Moses‘s novella, Our Own Unique Affliction!

Our Own Unique Affliction is the story of Alice Ann, a dejected immortal who longs for her life in the sun. Navigating guilt, loss, family, meaning, murder, and all that comes with the curse of living forever.

An existential, bleak, quiet until it’s not, hallucination on duality, rife with fangs, empathy, blood, and grief.

“Unexpected and grim, Scott J. Moses’ Our Own Unique Affliction is the most inventive and bombastically gruesome vampire story I’ve read since The Light at the End by John Skipp and Craig Spector. An exquisitely written meditation on grief, family, and trauma told with such empathy and care. I feel broken after reading this book, and I applaud Scott for obliterating my soul with such grace and tenderness.”
Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and Other Misfortunes

“Scott Moses writes from a place of pure empathy, the result of which is a story that pulls the reader in with deceptive ease, putting them through the emotional wringer, culling fear from every page. A tightly written fever dream of bloodlust and family ties, grief, rage and the eternal hunt.”
Laurel Hightower, author of Crossroads and Below

Pre-orders are now available for paperback and ebook.

Our Own Unique Affliction will be released worldwide on January 21st, 2025.
