Nothing beats book mail! Congrats to my dear friend @abbyvail.bsky.social on her terrifying #debut, Writhe, from @sobelobooks.bsky.social! I can't wait to crack this horror open (but probably only in the daylight hours)! πŸ˜…
Please add Writhe to your TBR and congratulate my friend Abby. TIA! πŸ’œ

This was a gut-wrenching read. Dread oozed from the pages, but I couldn't help but keep reading. I'll be thinking about the ending for a while.

It's an amazing debut. I will keep my eye on @abbyvail.bsky.social.

Ebook cover of Writhe by Abby Vail. An illustrated black and white drawing of a young child in a doorway looking at a room full of bodies on the floor. One of the child's arms and (maybe) weapon is red, and all lettering is red.

We’re one day out from the release of WRITHE by @abbyvail.bsky.social. Meet Banner, a bullied boy who hopes his drunken mother’s nightly absences will bring him something he’s never had before. A Father. With every failure, the disgust for the other grows, pushing Banner into the arms of vengeance.

If you're going to StokerCon, let me know. I'll cry myself into oblivion if the incompetence of our country (unsafe air travel, in this specific case) hinders me from seeing people I really want to see now that I can finally go. Show of hands?

My husband is on the left in a navy button up shirt. He’s bald and smiling. I’m on the right, with special FX makeup on half my face. My hair is split dye black and red, and the black-ish, burnt looking monster makeup is covering the side of my face with the black hair.

I’m a day late, but he’s my forever Valentine.
