Palmista Press Announces New Trilogy Publishing Agreement With A. Craine for Infernal Influencer

I am excited to officially announce a new trilogy publishing agreement with Palmista Press for the upcoming supernatural thriller series Infernal Influencer.

Dark, addictive, unsettling, and sharply modern, Infernal Influencer blends psychological suspense, supernatural horror, occult mystery, and influencer culture into a chilling contemporary thriller series designed for readers who enjoy stories where fame comes at a terrifying price.

The agreement includes an initial three-book trilogy, with development already underway.

A Modern Horror Story for the Digital Age

At its core, Infernal Influencer explores a disturbing question:

What if the algorithm wasn’t just watching you…

What if something behind it was feeding on you?

Set against the backdrop of social media obsession, viral celebrity culture, livestream fame, parasocial relationships, and online identity, the series follows a rising influencer whose rapid success begins to spiral into increasingly impossible — and horrifying — events.

As fame grows, so do the signs that something ancient may be hiding beneath the attention economy.

Something hungry.

Infernal Influencer asks something much darker:
