Their current entire list is one photo book, but this fall they're publishing On/Off, which is billed as "A Jekyll and Hyde story." In the last decade or so, Seattle has really lost a lot of ground to Portland by way of publishing companies. There's not a lot of diversity or energy in our publishing scene, so we should keep our fingers crossed, because a boutique horror press could add a lot to our publishing diversity. At the moment, on their website, Cryptic is unrolling a serial thriller novel....

I occasionally download them at podiobooks.com.

I do not like to wait to find out what happens so I never read serial novels. At least not until it's all done and I can get the whole thing at once so I can read it at my speed, not an artificially dictated one.

The suspense is part of the fun, and it's well written with lots of Seattle tidbits thrown in for the local folks. READ IT!
