So honored and delighted to share that my debut novel, The Scald-Crow, is on the Horror Writers Association's 2025 Stoker Preliminary Ballot for Superior Achievement in a First Novel alongside a whole cast of crackerjack works!

Big congrats to all the preliminary folks! This is so surreal!

Cover of Grace Daly’s novel, The Scald Crow, which depicts a cat biting into the neck of a crow. The title and author name are in a bold red color.

A fitting day to start @gracedalyauthor.bsky.social‘s Illinois-based horror novel, The Scald Crow!! 🐦‍⬛ Already the first chapter is starting strong (and spooky) and includes the Fox River!!

I'm in this article too - and what a coincidence, I recommend The Barre Incidents by @renbolger.bsky.social which is an incredible blend of various folklores in an emotionally resonant horror page-turner!

My debut horror/comedy novel, The Scald-Crow, is out today!

It's about chronic pain, invisible disability, childhood trauma, and medical trauma, but it's funny, I promise! It's also about Irish folklore, a heroic rescue cat, and a really irritating bird. There's something for everyone! 🐦‍⬛♿☘️
