teenage girls can be demons

Cover reveal: Teenage Girls Can Be Demons

It’s cover reveal day!

I’m delighted to share the cover art for my upcoming collection Teenage Girls Can Be Demons, releasing September 16th from Titan Books! This one is another stunner from Julia Lloyd, who did the art for my previous two Titan books, A Light Most Hateful and All the Hearts You Eat.

Pre-order available from: Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, and other places shown on Penguin Random House

13 coming-of-rage stories the way only Bram Stoker Award-winning author Hailey Piper can tell them—wildly inventive, brilliantly imaginative, and completely and utterly enthralling.

A vicious group of college upperclassmen prey on the freshman girls in “Why We Keep Exploding”; across the world, something is mutating adolescents into bizarre creatures in “The Turning”; a girl on a night out realizes a bizarre cop is hunting her in “The Long Flesh of the Law”; and in the acclaimed novella “Benny Rose, the Cannibal King”, a Halloween prank goes horribly wrong when a murderous ghost steps out of an urban legend and into the real world.

These stories take our most difficult years of transformation and twist them into new and terrifying shapes, where the monsters are real and you’ll do whatever it takes to get away, or get even.

2025 Begins

Happy New Year! A couple of quick updates:

First, glancing back, All the Hearts You Eat made Paste Magazine’s “The Best Horror Books of 2024,” one of fifteen titles full of nightmares. Honored that my vampires made the cut, calling the novel “a triumph in a career increasingly full of them.”

Supernatural crime novella Cranberry Cove also got a mention in The Lineup’s “2024 Horror Book Highlights.”

Now to this year! I have two books coming, both in quarter 3:

A Game in Yellow releases from Saga on August 12, 2025, a queer erotic cosmic horror novel tangling with the infamous King in Yellow.

Teenage Girls Can Be Demons releases from Titan on September 16, 2025, a collection of coming-of-rage stories about our most difficult years and the horrors that find us. Among the new stories are two new novelettes and the inclusion of a very special cannibal.

I’ll have other short fiction releasing through the year, including “Prey Instinct,” coming in the first anthology to be based off a Stephen King novel, The End of the World As We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King’s The Stand. The TOC is frankly jaw-dropping, and I’m overjoyed to have a story amid the work of these much-celebrated authors.

Lastly, A Game in Yellow made Paste Magazine’s “The Most Anticipated Horror Books of 2025.” So many fantastic-looking books lie in wait. It’s going to be another tremendous year for horror!

3-book deal + A Game in Yellow cover reveal

A giant monster battle of news landed last week, so there’s a bit of ground to cover here, but I’ll keep it short and snappy!

Titan Books announced a three-book deal with me, with titles releasing over the next three years. First up will be Teenage Girls Can Be Demons, a collection of coming-of-rage horror including new stories, among them two new novelettes, and some returning favorites about our teenage years and the monsters within them. That releases on September 16, 2025. In 2026, a new novel releases, This Movie Doesn’t End the Way We Want, followed by a TBA novel in 2027.

Also coming in 2025, my erotic cosmic horror novel A Game in Yellow from Simon and Schuster, and now it has a wonderful cover by Caroline Teagle! It’s up for pre-order at the usual places, and releases August 12 next year!
