INTRODUCTION TO UNMASKED
BY CANDACE NOLA
Poetry is the purest, deepest expression of self. It is raw emotion spilled onto a page for all to see. It can be more powerful than speech, more grand than the grandest of gestures, and more emotional than any other form of expression.
It conveys that which we cannot say, those feelings we cannot reveal. The love we cannot admit, the grief that will not lift, the sadness that won’t let us breathe, the joy that we are helpless to describe in voice. It’s a song from one heart to another, a story, a memory, a proposal, an apology. It can be whatever the writer needs it to be.
When a poet hands you a poem, believe me when I say that they have stripped themselves bare, cut open their chest and stand before you, naked and terrified, handing over their heart. You’ll never have a truer glimpse into the soul of another than that moment.
With that being said, here I stand, naked and terrified…unmasked.

PRAISE FOR SLATTERY FALLS
“This is a great example of the depths of LaFaro’s imagination, storytelling voice, and ability to build and maintain horror for the duration of the book.”
— Sadie Hartmann, Bram Stoker Award-nominated editor of Human Monsters.
“An engrossing ride about ghost-hunting, forbidden places, and the human need to peek into those places where one shouldn’t tread. Tightly-paced, with the narrative rolling on a good clip, where the events of the story test the boundaries of loyalty and friendship between three oddball characters who form their own little tribe.”
— Tim McGregor, author of Lure and Wasps in the Ice Cream.
“Something I thoroughly appreciate is believable friendships and banter between characters and we get this in spades with these enjoyable characters. It isn’t always easy to pull off a balance like this and a relatable first-person narrator, but LaFaro executed it perfectly.”
— Janine Pipe, HorrorDNA.
“Full of tense moments, humor, scary imagery, and the ending caught me completely off guard.”
— John Durgin, author of The Cursed Among Us.

Synopsis: Kae Roscoe's daughter went missing in the woods sixteen months ago but when she returns, she's not the same person. She hardly speaks, doesn't eat, responds with extreme violence, and things get worse when she's released from the hospital. There's definitely something very different about Molly, and her reappearance is making strange things happen to everyone around her.
Suffer The Darkness by Yolanda Sfetsos
"Yolanda Sfetsos is such an incredible horror author with an amazingly distinctive voice. Her writing is sharp, terrifying, and unforgettable, and Suffer the Darkness is among her best work to date. This powerful tale will haunt your dreams and never let you go."
- Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rust Maidens and Reluctant Immortals
"In the brief space of this fast-paced novella, Yolanda Sfetsos manages to sweep her readers through heartache and the supernatural, stomach-turning body horror, haunting imagery, and an epic ending I didn't see coming."
- Laurel Hightower, author of Crossroads and Below
"As with every Sfetsos release, we get her deft prose and emotion-charged pacing. But with Suffer the Darkness we get that x10 as we barrel through a paranormal-folklore story sure to keep you up late at night!"
- Steve Stred, Splatterpunk-Nominated author of Sacrament, Mastodon, and Churn the Soil
“Swerving a rehash of the classic possession trope, in Suffer the Darkness Sfetsos creates horrors so imaginative and so vivid that you won’t want to look, but will be powerless to turn away.”
- Kev Harrison, author of Below.
"Suffer the Darkness is a unique tale of supernatural horror with a wildly clever twist. A brutal tale of supernatural horror on a whole new level."
- Sarah Jane Huntington, author of Cabin Terror
"Sfetsos weaves a dark tale steeped in folklore, possession and the power of a mother's love that will leave readers wanting more."
- S.H. Cooper, author of Inheriting Her Ghosts
