the cover of SPREAD ME on a field of stars next to the Indie Next Pick seal, which reads "Booksellers Recommend". Text on the image reads "Thank you, booksellers!"
SPREAD ME is an Indie Next pick!! One of the greatest honors a book can receive imo. Thank you to everyone who supports the work of indie booksellers by shopping at your local bookstore and by pre-ordering via @bookshop.org!!

Black Flame
One woman's deadly obsession with a haunted archival film precipitates her undoing in Black Flame, from the USA Today bestselling author of Manhunt, Gretchen...
one of my favorite books of the year is out today: BLACK FLAME by @scumbelievable.bsky.social is a seething, compelling, nasty story about how repression hollows you out, and how you can never be self-abnegating enough to please people who hate you. Itโs repulsive, erotic, heartbreaking. 12/10 stars
