Hello, dear readers,

Night Black, Moon White and other stories releases in stores in a few weeks, and the hardback campaign will be launching shortly beforehand on September 10th as part of the Printopia 2026 cross-collab event. I want to give you a look at where things stand!

The confirmed deluxe elements for this hardback edition are locked in: the title text will be printed in foil on the cover, so it shimmers in the light. The page edges will be sprayed black, carrying the night shadow all the way through the book. And there'll be a satin black ribbon bookmark, to keep your page mid-story and find your way back among the dark mirrors without losing your place.

If we go further together, there's more beauty planned: matching endpapers to dazzle your eyes the moment you open the book, and an illustrated chapter header. Stretch goals, if we get there.

Three gothic fairytales bound in beauty are waiting on the other side of this campaign: two sisters fleeing through dark mirrors, a woman braving the monster inside her own walls, a lost girl returning for one final night. If these sound like your kind of dark, following the project is the best way to be first through the door when we launch. And if you know a fellow booklover who loves their fairytales with teeth, I'd be glad of the company. Every share helps this new, unique little venture find the readers who'll want it most.

More soon,
C.
