Snowy night-scene in the woods. Eerie light emanates from a nearby property. Overlaid text reads "Have an ELDRITCH Holiday Season"
It's sure been snowing out in these woods...

Image of the novel The Truth of Carcosa by Jacob Rollinson, with a blurb by Tariq Ashkanani, author of the McIlvanney Prize-winning The Midnight King. The blurb reads "The Truth of Carcosa is a metafictional masterpiece. A powerful blast of weird fiction that stays in the head long after it's over."

Front cover of a novel. The title reads: The truth of carcosa: a novel. The author is Jacob Rollinson. The cover is yellow, with bold red lettering. In the centre is the figure of a figure in a robe and crown, but the face and body of the figure are empty, giving instead a vista of a fantastic landscape
The cover for THE TRUTH OF CARCOSA is revealed! Fantastic work by @corraldesign.bsky.social. I feel like it conveys things that are key to this novel: its retro SFF aesthetic, metafictional play, and vision of worlds within worlds

Um... buy my book? Out January 2026
Over time, a great deal of the pseudo-academic content was edited out, as the horror/thriller elements of the novel took precedence. But the rotten kernel of my novel remains a work of paranoid literary interpretation, so I get excited when people post about The King in Yellow like this
