Want to read Fairy Seasons at no cost to you (aside from a review)? Well look no further! I've got a form for ARC readers to fill out. #booksky #books #ARCreaders #readsky cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/for...

The image is of a cover for a book called "Fairy Seasons" by S.P. Green. On the cover is a fae figure made of two different halves. The half on the left is pristine and golden hair, a perfect fairy. The right half, unseelie in appearance, is dark. Their hair is unkempt and oily. Their clothes are ragged and dirty. Surrounding the figure are several vines and flowers.In the top corners, there is a stylized, golden sun as well as a crescent moon.

The cover was created by the wonderful artist, Thomas S Brown.

Some bookmarks I've made (featuring original art and photography). Serosh posed as my model. Fester is in the background.

A photo of a gray and brown tabby laying on his side. A paw is reaching out, as if he yearns for the colorful bookmarks. The bookmarks before him are colorful and all different. The most noticeable is of a dragonfly on a wall with the words "I eat cement" above it.

A Bean for these trying times. Socksabean is such a cutie.

I was walking from one building to another and spotted a little friend! What a perfect #MushroomMonday #mushroom #shroomposting #shroomscrolling

A close-up of a common mushroom peeking out of green grass. They cap is more conical in shape. Their stem is very skinny.

#13MorbidMondays What's this about BoNeS?! I love #bones! This isn't all my bone themed art, but a really cool bit of it. The fae trap is featured in my upcoming book, Fairy Seasons. They certainly are bone-deep with their collection...I love making creepy #art. #horror

Fae Trap- a digital artwork made in infinite paint. The subject is a Fae Trap. The Fae Trap has a large flower pod base as their lower half. It is light green with yellow spots. The petals surrounding the opening are yellow and orange. Out of the top opening springs the rest of the fae trap. They are made of a human spine and rib cage. Their arms are made of old, pinkish meat. Feathers and leaves are mixed into the arm from things previously digested. Various pitcher plants grow out of their body, as well as venus fly traps. Their head is made of a crumbling masquerade mask. Out of the eye sockets, more pitcher plants grow. Out of the back of their head are several venus fly traps and long, light green sundews.The fae trap stands before two torches. The torches have skulls on their tops. The background, overall, is a wall of bones and skulls.

Line art of a wall of skulls and bones. It was made using a symmetry tool for drawing on infinite painter.

Hello #SpoonieAuthChat! I hope your Saturday goes well. I will shamelessly promo my first three poetry books. They're all pretty cool. The PDFs are free on my site and kofi(two of them also have epubs on kofi). You can buy them elsewhere spookyxpickle.com/product-cate... ko-fi.com/spookysplend...

A graphic showcasing the book The Shadow on the Wall by Machelle Berglund. The cover is shown on a book, a phone, and a table. The cover is a grayish teal. There is a spooky, shadowy figure with glowing eyes sharing at the viewer.

Okay, this is what I got for today. #TBBPrompt #WritingPrompt #poetry #Writing #Amwriting

My words are never false,
Nor are they a full truth

I tell the story through
The bits and bobs
I've managed to gather
And cobbled together
To tell it as true
As I can

Details fall through
The cracks of my memory,
The meanings I meant
Slip through
The tide of letters
I spill onto the page

The semblance
Of truth is there,
Right within the blobs
Of ink,
The splotches of paint

I leave it to you
To fill in the gaps

Fairy Season pre-orders are closed. When it's live and ready for sale again, I'll be sure to let everyone know. Until then, I have plenty of things to check out on my website. It's clunky, but it does it's job. I have blog posts, interviews, and a shop. Will update more soon! spookyxpickle.com

A photo of a white dandelion surrounded by several others. There is test over all that. It says "upcoming events. July 18th Bazaart in Sioux Falls. JULY 25TH BAC Bloc party in Brookings"

without downloading new pics, describe your gender with one image (Took this at an building for art students with the idea of doing something with it)

A picture of two mannequins dressed in colorful, artsy outfits. They're in the corner. One is sitting. The other is standing before them, as if they are having a conversation. They are in a shadowy room in an art building.

Tomorrow is the last day to get those orders in! Hurry! I'm hoping to reach my goal of ten. I've gotten three pre-orders so far. Will you be one of my lucky seven? Fairy Seasons is a fairy themed collection of whimsy, horror, and more. #books #fairies fairy-seasons.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

The Bernie Sanders meme, but with different text. "I am once again asking for your preorder of Fairy Seasons"

#LGBTQWriteAThon haha I almost put toyotathon instead of writeathon. Anyways, it was pretty good. I finished a big edit. Also, just wrapped up the local Pride celebration. It was pretty great! There's a picture of the board members and volunteers for Pride. I'm in a yellow bandana in the backrow.

A picture of the Brookings SD Pride Committee for 2026 at the Pride celebration. There 10 people of various gender orientation standing before Pride flags while outside. They seems like a joyous, colorful bunch.

Yup. Always has been. Don't get this meme? If you get Fairy Seasons and read it, you will. Pre-order yours today. Fairy around, fae out. fairy-seasons.backerkit.com/hosted_preor... #mushrooms #memes #fairies #promo #booksky #books

The "Wait, it's always been..." meme with the astronauts. One is looking towards Earth while the other, behind them, is pointing a gun at the first.

For this version of the meme, the earth is covered in mushrooms. The first astronaut says "wait, it's all mushrooms?" While the second says "always has been"

Wooooo! A #TBBPrompt! Wrote this a minute ago. Thanks for the inspo. I'll clean it up, add, subtract, and then stick it in Revenants! #Writing #AmWriting #WritingPrompt

Sometimes I find it hard
To quantify
The compounding inanity,
And outright vanity,
Fused together,
manifesting as insanity
Found in humanity

I wish to deny
Those devils
As being part of my species,
How they make me wish
I wasn't considered human,
That I was the alien,
Or the robot,
I always imagine

Sebastian said it best
"The human world,
It's a mess"

Spooky Pickle 🧚‍♀️Beware the Fairy Seasons🧚‍♂️@spookyxpickle· Jun 25

Okay, I'm definitely reusing this meme in the future. But it represents a truth. Fairy Seasons is a pretty cool book. There's even a story that has snow. Yeah, it's THAT cool. Pre-orders are only open for five more days! Aaaaah!!! #booksky #memes fairy-seasons.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

The hand about to his a big button meme. A blurry hand is moving fast to hit a big blue button. On the top, representing the hand, are the words "me, looking for a cool book". On the button are the words "Fairy Seasons by S.P. Green".

Thank you for the enchanting chat, #horrorwriterschat So, speaking of fairies! I present Fairy Seasons, my collection of fairy themed stories and poems. They range from mild horror, big terror, to wild whimsy and everything in between. fairy-seasons.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

A meme where someone is whispering directly into someone's ear in the top picture. The second picture depicts the hair on their skin raising and prickling with excitement.

For this version of the meme, the top pic has the words "Fairy Seasons is available for preorder". The bottom pic does not have any words.

Okay, so italics don't show when sharing snippets from Ellipsus, buuuuut, here's a very meme-able scene from Candlesong, the longest story in Fairy Seasons. Horace, a very scraggly vagabond, is about to tell his nightly fireside tale. He's spent decades traveling and gathering tales. #amwriting

Horace cleared his throat before he began.

There's a saying I've heard. Inside of you are two wolves.

Horace paused for dramatic effect before he continued.

Well, for some, it's two fairies.

Took some selfies with my pinker hair. I'm really feeling some gender euphoria from the second one. I need to do my hair like that more often.

A non-binary, heavy set, and very cute individual with glasses and long bubblegum pink hair. They took a selfie.

A close-up side facial selfie of a non-binary, heavy set, adorable individual with glasses and bubblegum pink hair. They have a smirk. They are really feeling the gender euphoria in this one.

The ancient aliens guy meme. Only, instead of aliens, he's saying fairies. There are also several fairies surrounding him. The one on the top left is from the cover of Fairy Seasons, drawn by Thomas S. Brown. Then, to the right, is a common moth, then what appeared to be an onion with ears, a face, and beard. Below that is a deer-like fairy holding a fairy friend. To the left of her is a purple moth cat.

The meme of the woman looking over her shoulder with a disgruntled expression as she looks at her male partner. Her partner is laying on his side, staring off into space.

The text over the woman says, "I bet he's thinking about other books".

The text over the man says, "I can't wait for Fairy Seasons to come out. I wonder what the fairies are like."

Spooky Pickle 🧚‍♀️Beware the Fairy Seasons🧚‍♂️@spookyxpickle· Jun 21

Pre-orders open until the end of June. Pre-orders unfortunately won't open again until September. The books will also be higher in price, soooo....act now. (there are also ebooks, but the paperbooks are really cooooool) fairy-seasons.backerkit.com/hosted_preor... #deal #memes #promo

The trade offer meme from tiktok. It features a man with shoulder length dark hair in a suit with his long fingertips touching. The man in white in appearance with brown eyes and facial hair. On the top left, it says "I recieve: $15 plus shipping" To the right, it says "You recieve:"

Below "you recieve:" is the cover for Fairy Seasons by S.P. Green. There is a creepy fairy and plants on the awesome cover by Thomas S. Brown

These are your options. The fairies are persistent. If they see something they want, they will pursue. Do you make a deal now (pre-order) for a lesser cost, receiving the book sooner? Or do you wait until it's published in late October and pay more later? Choice is yours. Choose wisely. Or don't.

The superhero sweating, trying to pick a buttom meme by Jake Clark of Tumblr.

Choice one is to make a deal with the fae now. Choice two is to make a deal with the faeater, at greater cost.

The bottom text says either way, Fairy around and fae out

This boy is like a sour patch kid. At first, he bites the shit out me and my cords when I'm working at my desk (I know it's because he wants to play and be a part of my process) Then he gets real cute, lays beside me, and insists that one of his paws has to touch me. He follows me everywhere.

A photo of a cat laying on their side. They are a gray and brown tabby. Their tongue is out as a blep. Their paws are curled up towards their body.

A slightly different angle of the first photo. The light hits different, especially on his eyes.

If you see this post an eye

An acrylic painting of three sunflowers in a blue vase. They have eyes in their centers. Two of the flowers are wilting while one of them is still healthy, but weeping. The counter they sit on is dark purple. The walls are dark blue. A window behind the flowers shows an orange and golden sunset

Wake up, mushling. A new Fairy Seasons meme has dropped. Basically, Good Fairies Bad Fairies has always been a big inspo. Botanical Folk Tales is also a pretty awesome book. Now, just add a bit of my sense of humor and whismy, with a twist of my love and horror, and there we go! Fairy Seasons!

The Yu-Gi-Oh Polymerization meme.

At the top are two books, Botanical Folks Tales of Britain and Ireland by Liza Schneidau and Good Fairies Bad Fairies by Brian Froud.

Below that is a still from Yu-Gi-Oh featuring Yami Yugi. He is holding a polymerization card. He says "And I'll fuse them with the magic card of Polymerization".

Below that is a close up of the art on the card, and in the middle is the book cover for Fairy Seasons by S.P. Green. The cover art of a beckoning fairy was created by Thomas S. Brown
