Cover of She Isn't Herself Tonight by Hailey Piper, art by Caroline Johnson, depicting a woman caught between neon lights, her face fracturing into reflections of itself. Beneath the title is a quote from Rachel Harrison calling the novel "Blissfully twisted and genuinely heartfelt."

Close-up of a white button pinned to my office cork board. It is small and white and has black text with green shadow that reads: "WE ARE THE WIERDOS, MISTER." It is surrounded by tacks, three plastic, one metal, two pinning scraps of paper to the board.

It Came From Neverland by Cynthia Pelayo: 9798892424448 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books Peter Pan meets Stephen King's It in this twisted horror retelling of a classic childhood fairy tale set during WWI. 1914, Wendy Darling works by day as a school teacher, and by night, she assists so...

"Wendy's recounting of the experiences of the Darling children is far darker & sinister than the story we are all familiar with. The writing is excellent and creates an extremely suspenseful atmosphere...set against the backdrop of the devastation of war."

Last promo today, just popping this up again. Online a few more weeks. Very kind of Undertow to make it available temporarily. If it it intrigues you, you can support the indie publisher and maybe grab a book (any book! they're all killer. so many killer collections). Ty.

Woman in horror appreciation post: today I want to celebrate the uber talented @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social her work is haunting, mysterious and wonderfully gothic. She mixes crime fiction and ghost stories that are bound together by beautiful prose.
