Cover Reveal: "The Between" by Ryan Leslie

Welcome to a special cover reveal...

Teaser!

You know, as a rule, I don't do reveals. Well, I don't do mass reveals, or reveals for books that I'm not interested in. So, when I do one, you know there's a solid reason behind that.
This time, we're looking at the cover for Ryan Leslie's debut book. I jumped at the chance to reveal this particular cover...because the book in question is on my TBR list. Of course it is. I wouldn't have revealed its cover otherwise.
So, here goes...

While landscaping his backyard, ever-conscientious Paul Prentice discovers an iron door buried in the soil. His childhood friend and perpetual source of mischief, Jay Lightsey, pushes them to explore what's beneath.

When the door slams shut above them, Paul and Jay are trapped in a between-worlds place of Escher-like rooms and horror story monsters, all with a mysterious connection to a command-line, dungeon explorer computer game from the early '80s called The Between.

Paul and Jay find themselves filling roles in a story that seems to play out over and over again. But in this world, where their roles warp their minds, the biggest threat to survival may not be the Kosmaro, risen from the Between's depths to hunt them; the biggest danger may be each other.

  1. That's a rather scary cover. Seems to fit the synopsis, which also sounds rather scary

    1. I do mean to read it when it comes out! (It's weird that it doesn't get published until the spring though...they're missing the Halloween window!).

  6. Ooh, that is a top-notch cover! I'm a sucker for uncanny spaces and Escher-rooms (and monsters, of course). You did NOT just add another book to my TBR. 😂 (You did. You did.)

Unfortunately, I had to turn off the Anonymous comment option, because I was getting too much spam that didn't get filtered. So, you’ll need to have a Google account (Gmail will suffice) in order to comment. Sorry about that. Anyway, jump right in! Come on, you know you want to...😉 And be sure to leave a link!
BTW...I don't care if a post is a million months old - you comment, I respond. And you make my day 😃.
