New Deal Announcement – NARCISSUS

New Deal Announcement - Narcissus

Today we are announcing the acquisition of Adam Godfrey’s debut novella, Narcissus. Narcissus will be published in May 2023 in paperback and eBook formats.

In Narcissus, self-awareness takes on an entirely new meaning when four friends come to find themselves possessed and hunted by an ancient malevolence that resides in the reflective world.

Adam Godfrey is a novelist and author of short stories. His genre-crossing work ranges from the suspenseful to the horrific, frequently characterized by central threads of plausible science and technology gone awry.

A cover reveal and pre-order for Narcissus are both forthcoming.
