It would be safe to say that Kathe Koja is one of the best authors working in horror or any other speculative genre right now, and it would be just as safe a bet that her previously out of print novel, The Cipher, is the most sought after volume in her lexicon of work. For a long time available only as an eBook, Meerkat Press and Ink Heist are pleased to announce that the Funhole is coming back in all its dark glory and we have a fucking gorgeous cover to share with you today. Details as follows.
