a pen doodle on notebook paper of two people. one is Virion, a person in a lab coat with the sleeves rolled up, elbows deep in the chest cavity of a corpse. dangling from the ceiling next to them is a person with short hair and horns. the person’s speech bubble reads “so you didn’t even take him to dinner first? damn.” Virion stares back blankly.

A book cover reveal post, reading: "Even paradise has its ghosts" on a mock postcard with a persimmon stamp in the corner. The postcard has been torn in half, and in the middle of the split paper is the book THAT WHICH FEEDS US by Keala Kendall. The cover shows a mixed Hawaiian girl sitting on the floor of a room with peeling green wallpaper. Branches of persimmon fruit, both rotten and ripe, surround her while some branches pierce her skin. A blurb from bestselling author, Andrew Joseph White, reads: "Astounding" in the top corner of the book. At the bottom of the graphic, on the torn half of the postcard, reads: Book your trip May 26

Thereʻs a text box on a white postcard backdrop image that has postage fixed to the top of the frame like a letterhead. The text reads: 

“This astounding book is both a finger pointed directly at the rotting heart of colonial greed and a truly heart-pounding mystery.” — Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of Compound Fracture

For the world’s wealthiest, Kōpaʻa Island Resort is more than a destination. It’s the ultimate escape. With no cell service or Wi-Fi, the Hawaiian island is a coveted wellness retreat renowned for its persimmon orchard and promises of rejuvenation.

But their dream vacation is Lehua’s nightmare. When her twin sister, Ohia, goes missing, Lehua follows her trail to Kōpaʻa to find her. Instead, Lehua is cut off from civilization—and help—after the island’s boat leaves without her, stranding her with the resort’s lavish guests and enigmatic staff.

As Lehua investigates Ohia’s disappearance, she discovers her missing sister isn’t the island’s only mystery. Kōpaʻa’s rich exterior and sweet persimmons hide its dark plantation past. And Lehua can’t ignore the dreams haunting her each night—nor the warning telling her to leave the island at once. To uncover what happened to Ohia, Lehua will have to unearth the island’s bloody history and face the horrors that lurk within its sugarcane fields—or risk being consumed by them.

Plan your getaway. The classic beach read is getting a Hawaiian gothic twist.

Iʻm excited to share the cover for THAT WHICH FEEDS US, my YA supernatural thriller, out May 26. A huge thank you to Frances Wren, Liz Dresner, Kelly Austin, + @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social for blurbing. Pre-order 🔗 in bio!

i will say that this game is a great example of publishing and what we mean when we say you need to read with intention. in the game, i have shelf space for 40 books, and i don't choose the books or authors ("i don't check the races of authors i read, i only care if the book is good!").
