#Review: Cicadas Sing of Summer Graves by Quinn Connor -> offbeat-ya.blogspot.com/2026/03/quin...
Will appeal to those who: like stories with their roots in a troubled/tragic past; enjoy a mixture of cozy and unsettling, beauty and horror; have a thing for characters both haunted and haunting.
Go where the good stuff is sold, thank me later.
Thank you!

Patreon story for March is now live! Alice Healy keeps having new candidates for the worst day of her life, and sweetie, it's not getting better from here...
An ode to the power of art - the power to save, or the power to damn. A dark fairy tale unleashed in the real world. The story of a dysfunctional family and a predatory house. Horrifying and spellbinding, bitter and beautiful, very meta yet unmistakably human (with all that entails).

Unveiling the cover for Melissa Albert's The Children.
Told in alternating narratives between 1990s Vermont and present-day New York, The Children is a twisting tale of family secrets and long-held resentments.
Out 4th June.

I know - you were talking about sequels when the book first came out - but I needed to be reassured 😅.
Love the cover BTW.
😍 We should arrange for an Italy delivery like we did for DG...pain in the ass, yeah, I know.
And may I hold a tiny sliver of hope for sequel(s)?
