He’s the devil cover

Book synopsis: Simon has always been a good guy, a charmer. He's consistently employee of the month at his bougie restaurant job, neurotically tidy, and generally tries to do right by everyone. And his dark parts! He keeps those well-hidden. But when his best and only friend Josh moves out of their shared apartment, Simon's world starts to fall apart when his new roommate Massimo moves in. Because Massimo has brought something or someone—with him. He might just turn out to be the roommate from hell.... Strange things start to happen. Weird noises come from Massimo's room, smells of earth and spoiled meat drift through the halls, lights flicker, and Simon's nights fill with disturbing and alluring dreams. Meanwhile, across the city, murders are being committed, bodies torn apart from the inside. Massimo and whatever he's unleashed begin to awaken Simon's wild and exciting and horrifying inner self. Whatever this new friend is could be the end of Simonor a completely new beginning.

Life and Death of the American Worker: The Immigrants Taking on America's Largest Meatpacking Company The Immigrants Taking on America's Largest Meatpacking Company

No it’s not posted anywhere else but this is the book I was discussing if you’re interested in reading it!

I’m planning to finish These Bodies Ain’t Broken today which is a horror anthology featuring disability rep and chronic illness. I’m halfway through now and these stories are so interesting #horrorbooks #horrorbooksky

And when I say suppressed, I mean this video was sitting at zero views and wasn’t eligible for the FYP so I had to delete and reupload it.

It’s more important than ever that we are staying informed, not just on things that directly affect us, but general practices in society! Thank you @Atria Books for this gifted copy. #booktok #nonfict... TikTok video by Alise

I’m so honored that I’ve had a video suppressed for the first time on TikTok. I made a video talking about Life and Death of the American Worker about a group of workers taking on Tyson Foods for mistreatment (which has caused illness and death). Check it out! #booksky #nonfictionbooks #nonfiction

Hi! We had to reschedule to the 21st so you didn’t miss it!!
