‘A Feast of Putrid Delights’ Exclusive Cover Reveal Teases New Culinary Horrors
Ghoulish Books is excited to bring you a new beautifully disgusting piece of literature, this time from the mind of author Valentina Rojas. Her debut novella A Feast of Putrid Delights is set to hit shelves this March and we’ve heard it’s like Rose Glass’s religious horror nightmare Saint Maud meets Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation with a dash of culinary horror for good measure. If that description wasn’t exciting enough, we have an exclusive preview of the novella’s cover!
But first, read the full synopsis below:
Ever since surviving the attack on a local queer nightclub, Antonia’s life has unraveled. She can’t sleep, she can’t think, and she certainly can’t focus on the new restaurant she and her friends recently opened together in New York. The only solace comes in the form of a new experimental street drug called Cloud, gifted to her by a mysterious stranger with a peculiar lifestyle. Chronic insomnia miraculously cured, Chef Antonia finds herself consumed by a singular obsession: crafting the perfect dish, one purified from all the rot of the universe. But perfection has a price—and Antonia is running out of time to pay it back.
Now check out the cover, designed by cover artist Matthew Revert:
Valentina Rojas is a writer whose work delves into the forsaken and the unknown. Her recent work can be found in Ghoulish Tales, Coffin Bell Journal, and Mouthfeel Fiction. A graduate of the University of St Andrews with a degree in International Relations, she’s been seeking redemption ever since. When not crafting her web of horror, Valentina can be found working in games or haunting the Rockies with her partner and their three dogs; Zelda, Olivia Souffle, and Toast.
A Feast of Putrid Delights will hit physical and digital shelves on March 25, 2025. Pre-order your copy now! All paperback pre-orders from the Ghoulish Books website will come with a signed author sticker.
