  Fonda Lee returns to the world of the Green Bone Saga with a new standalone novella.  
   
  The rapidly changing city of Janloon is ruled by jade, the rare and ancient substance that enhances the abilities and status of the trained Green Bone warriors who run the island’s powerful clans.

  Now, Pulo has three days to hunt down the thief, find the jade, and return it to its rightful owner if he wants to save his future prospects, the people he cares about, and his very life. The desperate mission will lead Pulo to old vendettas, vast corruption, and questions about everything and everyone he thought he knew.

  Handsome, gifted young James Laurent has a story to tell you. His father will likely be the next governor, and his own future is bright. But James carries a dark secret--he's a sociopath who's done terrible things, and he doesn't know how to love. 
  That is, until he meets Morgan, a strong, beautiful farm girl who captures his heart and turns his world on its ear. but Morgan harbors secrets of her own...and as James will discover, creatures far darker than he walk this Earth. 
  "In Scream of the Butterfly, Christophe Maso wraps big questions about the nature and limits of love in a propulsive narrative that punches above its weight class. A strong debut, this novella both delivers on its own promise and marks Maso as a writer to watch. Closely." -- John Langan, award-winning author of Corpsemouth and Other Autobiographies 
  "Like the Jim Morrison of horror fiction, Christophe Maso won't stop breaking the rules. Indeed, even after you've made it to 'the end' of his dark tale of madness and desire, you may still find it hard to 'break on through' the lingering shadows." -- Josh Schlossberg, award-winning author of Malinae and editor of The Jewish Book of Horror

  Whispers of the Sealed 
  The Village That Wasn’t on Any Map 
  In a forgotten village wrapped in fog and secrecy, the bells ring for no one—but the echoes awaken those who should have stayed sealed. 
  When Elias stumbles into a town that appears in no records, he discovers the remnants of an ancient society that once sealed away demons—not with chains, but with symbols, stories, and sacrifice. Each chapter in his unravelling becomes a whispered truth, each relic a vessel for something that still breathes just beneath reality. 
  From Agnes Corrow’s ghostly lullabies to the masks that change their wearers, and a mirror that remembers more than it reflects—this psychological horror dives into generational madness, folklore, and the cost of knowing too much. As the seals begin to break, so does the boundary between Elias and the voices trying to finish what was started long ago. 
  Drenched in atmosphere and written in shifting perspectives, this Gothic horror is for those who love: 
  • Haunting symbols and secret societies 
  • Demons that whisper rather than scream 
  • Fragmented truths and dreamlike storytelling 
  • Lore-heavy psychological unravelling 
  The seals were never meant to last. And some reflections should never return.
