💀 Skeletons in the Closet

Written by Kim Bruce | Illustrated by Skip Dyrda

   Short stories for those who delight in the edgy and unexpected. Because let’s face it…everybody has skeletons in the closet.

   This collection walks the fine line between quirky and chilling, offering tales that nudge you out of your comfort zone and into shadowy corners of curiosity. I had the pleasure of illustrating most of the interior art for the book, helping bring Kim Bruce’s storytelling to life with visuals that echo its tone: a little strange, a little sharp, and always off-center.

   Perfect for readers who love a twist of the surreal with their fiction, this volume is a sly wink to the secrets we carry and the stories that refuse to stay buried.

   If you’re an author whose stories dance on the fringe…strange, smart, unafraid to be bold—I’d love to help bring your words to life. I collaborate with writers across genres to create interior artwork that deepens the story’s mood and invites readers to linger.

   Whether you’re publishing short fiction, memoir, or something entirely unclassifiable, let’s talk about how visuals can echo the tone you’ve worked hard to shape. No stock art. No cookie-cutter styles. Just bespoke illustration that feels as personal and uncanny as the stories themselves.
