A quotation in the upper part of the image appears in white and orange font: “What am I looking for? Delicious horror. Mind-bending science fiction. Pulse-pounding thrillers. Fantasies that ensnare. All dark. All daring.” To the left of Richard’s photo, it reads “Editors AMA. You have questions. They have answers. 26 June 2025. 8:30 PM ET. “ The Ruadán Books logo appears beneath this.
