(Pre-order) We Are the Gods We Make of Ourselves by John Baltisberger

Out March 3rd, 2027.

The gods are watching.

Deep in the forests of Ryan Harding National Park, an ancient entity has cast its gaze on the pained and fragile Jake, a widower in the grip of grief and mourning. Offered the chance to make a difference and perhaps even see his wife again, Jake becomes the high priest of a cult that worships the powerful deer-god Rogaty Bog.

But the new position comes with caveats, not only the antlers that now sprout from his head but an obligation to care for the members of this forlorn gathering of broken souls that form his new church. Thrust into an ongoing and eternal war against the forces of the terrifying and bloodthirsty followers of Ob-Obanan, the goddess of ticks and all which crawls across the earth, Jake struggles to make sense of this new world and his place within it.

A story of found family, acceptance, and the nature of faith in the face of insurmountable grief, brought to you by the award-winning author of All I Want is to Take Shrooms and Listen to the Color of Nazi Screams and Whispers of the Dead Saint.
