FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Queer Horror Author Ryder Tombs Delivers a Chilling, Psychological Descent in His Newest Release: Backscatter
Monyerey, CA – May 14, 2025 — Queer love meets cosmic horror in Backscatter, the haunting new novella from rising LGBTQ+ author Ryder Tombs, available now in paperback and eBook exclusively through Amazon.
In this psychological horror story drenched in dread and devotion, a couple’s attempt to build a beautiful life together slowly unravels when one of them brings home a vintage mirror with a secret. As identity fractures and obsession deepens, love becomes a battleground—and the reflection begins to stare back.
Blending intimate queer romance with creeping supernatural terror, Backscatter is a story about shame, surrender, and the unbearable cost of being truly seen. With rich emotional depth and cosmic scale, it’s a chilling new addition to the queer horror canon—perfect for fans of Caitlín R. Kiernan, The Haunting of Hill House, and Shirley Jackson.
“Love wins. But not without a cost.”
