Burned Cover Announcement

Erika Walker is a young woman with a bit of an odd family. Her little brother can coax minutes to stretch or snap like rubber bands and Erika has yet to come across something she cannot break. Erika has never seen her father before and her mother… Well, her mother isn’t exactly her mother anymore. The woman looks like Leah, sounds like her, but acts differently. She isn’t quite sure how and she isn’t quite sure why, but she knows her mother got body-snatched by something.

Follow Erika as she delves into a layer of Chicago that she never knew existed, one filled with strange creatures, curious allies, dangerous foes, and maybe—just maybe—some answers to the mysteries surrounding her family.

Burned Cover is an urban-fantasy mystery set in a supernatural mirror of contemporary Chicago. The kind of setting where spooky conspiracies run the cities, monsters lurk in the streets, and regular folk are somehow carrying on in ignorance despite the proliferation of phones and cameras.

Hello everyone! A new story has arrived!

Burned Cover is a modern supernaturally thing inspired by the likes of The X-Files, World of Darkness, and Dark City. But I think the blurb above covered most of all I had to say on it. Might be the best blurb I’ve ever written.

Like my other stories, it will be updating twice a week every week for however long it takes to complete. The second chapter will be out on July 2nd, 2025. From there, updates will be on Sunday/Wednesday nights.

The cover was drawn by Oxana Resh, and I absolutely love it. Make sure you go up and click on it, blow it up nice and big. You’ll probably have to open it in a new tab to see it in full resolution. It’s worth it.

I hope everyone enjoys Burned Cover! As usual, chapters come about a day later over on Royal Road if you prefer to read over there (though I won’t be asking their admins to approve Burned Cover until after it starts here because I never know if they’ll approve it in five seconds or five days). Regardless of where you read, I do appreciate reviews and boosts on Top Web Fiction.

Thanks all!

There was a little explanation of the new site right here, but I’ve moved it over to a separate post. If you’re interested, feel free to read it at New Site, New Toys.

Right. That’s enough yapping for now.
