Red Sonja: Consumed (2024)
Gail Simone
"I'm always thrilled by the freshness and clarity of Gail Simone's thought, the inventiveness of her imagination, and the power of her insights--but most of all, by her power to entertain in story after story."

Paul Tremblay
"Paul Tremblay is one of the most terrifying horror writers of his generation and his new chiller, Horror Movie, is a reason for excitement."
