A Parade of Horribles release update!

Hi everyone, we’ve got some new information for Matt’s upcoming and latest release in the DCC series.
Check out the ACE cover art for the hardcover edition of A Parade of Horribles!

Book cover illustration for A Parade of Horribles, a novel by Matt Dinniman. Design by William Stele. The cover features a cluster of ominous hands descending from the top left of the book towards an armored vehicle centered with the figure of a man in a cape standing on the roof, with a cat driving in the cab of the vehicle. The front of the vehicle also shows a Gatling gun mounted and the name Matt Dinniman in large bold text spanning the bottom of the image.

This highly anticipated continuation of the explosive and emotionally charged cliffhangers godslapping us in book 7 has us hostage. We’re holding our breath and on the edge of our seat. Bask in the glory!

We’re incredibly excited to share this new cover and the release schedule with the community.

Additionally, for fans of the classic cover art styles, the limited edition Luciano Fleitas trade paperback version is coming soon.
For those who love the old school style cover art, we got you, ah, well, covered.

Stay tuned for more info on that edition, which should be revealed sometime in the coming weeks.

We’re incredibly excited to see what Luciano has created for the paperback edition.

Finally, for those who want the format release schedule at a glance – please refer to the numbered list below. We’ve set this list of quick links to what we have thus far.

We’ll keep you updated as we get more info!
