I just tried to explain Shirley Jackson and specifically The Lottery to my mom. Her response: "That doesn't sound very nice. I don't think I'd like reading that at all." Clearly we have quite opposite tastes in literature.

Two insect-themed covers with very different vibes for two books I recently blurbed. Effects Vary by @fictionknot is an eerie and dark collection, and The Way the Light Bends by @raine_clouds is a lovely meditation on myth, grief, and healing. Both are well worth your time! https://t.co/Th7RNDJzC3
