The Chrysalis BREW Project has named Signs of The Fall by Sean M. Price a recipient of the BREW Reader’s Choice Award, a recognition based on reader response and BREW review ratings. According to the award guidelines, books receiving at least four out of five stars in official BREW reviews qualify for consideration.

The BREW Reader’s Choice Award is administered by The Chrysalis BREW Project and recognizes books that establish a connection with readers across genres and categories. The program includes monthly and annual recognitions determined through review performance and reader engagement.

Signs of The Fall is an interconnected fiction anthology set in Salem, Virginia. The work examines themes of isolation, temptation, identity, and moral conflict through multiple linked narratives. The book combines Appalachian Gothic elements with psychological and speculative fiction structures.

In the book review published by The Chrysalis BREW Project, the reviewer described the anthology as “something perhaps more terrifying: the corruption of the human spirit.” The same review also noted that “the stories are interconnected” and highlighted “the atmosphere, both autumnal and mundane” within the collection.

The review further observed that the author “shows moral decline with a rawness” and identified the book as “an original and unadulterated piece of fiction.”

Price is an Air Force veteran with a background in cybersecurity and technical publishing. His fiction work draws from professional and personal experiences and explores relationships, social systems, and intersections between reality and speculative concepts.

The BREW Reader's Choice Award has recognized books across fiction, nonfiction, children’s literature, speculative fiction, historical fiction, and other literary categories since its launch. Past recipients and finalists have included works from independent and traditionally published authors worldwide that received at least 4.0 out of 5 stars in their BREW reviews.
