NEW RELEASE: The Cold Visitor, July 15th

It's going to be a cold summer...

My newest release, The Cold Visitor, will drop July 15th, 2025, and is my first chilling excursion into cosmic horror.

4.5* This is a hard-hitting, harrowing read about sex work, those who abuse the industry, and the violence it sometimes entails, and it is my favourite Megan Stockton book so far. Stockton has created a living, breathing world that oozes corruption an ...more
