And what would you give for power? “Everything.” I prayed by clenching my bleeding fist against the shiver that rolled through me. Willing more blood to flow, willing all this to be true and more. And I meant it, I had to. Background: A ballet dancer with her arms above her head, silhouetted in a red light.

What an intense, visceral, blood-soaked experience this book was. @wickedjamison.bsky.social sticks her claws in you with this one, and doesn't let go. A little more thriller, a little more fantasy, but the gore puts it into the horror camp easily. And the rage is palpable and warranted. 📚🩸 📚⚡ 📚🪐💙

the official cover for my next book, ROAR OF THE LAMBS. the text reads: "Unlock the box. Unleash the apocalypse. Roar of the Lambs. From the author of I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast is Me, Jamison Shea." The illustration depicts a decorative carved box that is pale white, made of bone, with a sharp stick in the lock to keep it shut. The box is guarded by a large green snake that curls around it. Its mouth is open, fangs drawn. The background is dark. The foreground is gritty, a little grainy, with light purple scratches in the image.

"Know your place, little lamb." Winnie Bray is psychic and used to being ignored. And then one day she sees her death in Apollo Rathbun's future. It's better that they stay away from each other, but their fates are entwined. A box carved from bone whispers to them, and if they give in, calamity will follow.

ROAR OF THE LAMBS, August 26 "There was something in the flush of her cheeks, her hand in their throat, that warmed Apollo from the inside and rewired their brain so that they looked forward to helping her. To seeing the mystery written on her face, breathing in the wind as it fluttered through her hair. Apollo was remaking themself into a hero just for her, and they couldn't stop now."

If you knew the world was ending, who would you save? And would they let you? Sixteen-year-old Winnie Bray is a liar. As the resident psychic at an oddities shop, Winnie truly can see the future. But her customers only want reassurance, and Winnie only wants their money. Favorable fortunes are a fast track to funding her way out of Buffalo, New York for good, after all. But all of that changes when a vision sends her stalking in the remains of her family home that burned down in a fire 10 years ago. Among the ash and rubble, Winnie finds a box made of bone, untouched by flames and…whispering. At the touch of her finger, the box shows her a vision of death, chaos, and apocalypse, with her and rich kids Apollo and Cyrus Rathbun at the center.

Apollo knows their cousin is up to no good, and with the Rathbun family scattered to the wind, they know Cyrus is aiming to present himself as the new patriarch. Despite an initial attraction, Apollo is reluctant to believe Winnie. But soon it becomes clear that their family histories are intertwined, with the whispering, hungry box at the very center, and more than their lives are on the line. Together, they must discover the origins of the box and stop unforeseen forces from fulfilling the apocalyptic prophecy, or die trying. From the author of I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast is Me comes a speculative thriller about the ties that bind us to places and people, perfect for fans of Andrew Joseph White and Tochi Onyebuchi.

An snippet from the opening of "Destroying Angel" which reads: As the newspapers and true crime obsessives now talk about me, swearing that I'm a cautionary tale, having been seduced by power, let it be known that the seduction was all mine.

First hype read of 2025 and it's I FEED HER TO THE BEAST AND THE BEAST IS ME by @wickedjamison.bsky.social

Wicked, bloody, and vengeful, this book explores ambition and classism and racism in ballet and other fine art, and I loved Laure as a protag and narrator
