SCORPION DEEP IS ON NETGALLEY!! this is my next queer YA gothic horror set on a mouldering miserable island where a boy wakes an obsessive sea god who maybe loves him a little too ravenously. it’s horromance meets gothic decay and sea rot body horror and i’m deeply obsessed with my newest dark little book.
out October 27 if you want to pre∅rder!!
early eARCs are now available for reviewers and booksellers on Netgalley and Edelweiss for request. my publisher will be handling all requests!
(lightly freaking out that you’re going to read my book already!?!)

HAZELTHORN IS A # 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!!!!
Absolutely still in shock here 😭 THIS IS REAL?!?! I’m so incredibly grateful and can’t quite believe my little horror book hit number one!!!!! It’s also 4 on the Indie Bestseller List and 90 on the USA Today Bestseller list so I am just at such a loss for words apart from THANKYOU 😭🙏 thank you for loving and buying and talking about my gothic story of botanical body horror and autistic rage and hungry gardens. I genuinely did not know if a book with an autistic main character would go far but you gave it ALL YOUR LOVE and I’m beyond grateful.
so so much thanks and love to my incredible team at Feiwel & Friends and @fiercereads , my fantastic editor @editrix_em , Jean Feiwel, @gabysalpeter , and ofc my amazing agent @clairefriedman.agent !! I’m so so grateful to all of you!!
I’m maybe just going to go lose my mind for a second so!!!
Don’t Let The Forest In is the Barnes & Noble 2025 YA AWARD WINNER. This is so surreal I’m just!! what is my life right now!!
I’m so incredibly grateful to @barnesandnoble for the honour of this award, and so thankful to my publisher Feiwel & Friends @fiercereads and to my amazing editor Emily Settle and @clairefriedman.agent for championing this book. This was the book that nearly didn’t exist, my “last try” before I quit. And now somehow I’m an NYT Bestselling Award-Winning horror author.
thank you for loving this forest rot book full of heartache and monsters and wretched love 🥹🫶 i’m so grateful and my heart is so full. Idk what to do with myself!! Will go decay into the moss!!

HAZELTHORN ART REVEAL!! Evander and Laurie with their hate-to-love sass. 🙂↕️🙂↔️ i’ve wanted to get a scene turned into a little comic for ages and i’m obsessed with how it turned out!! i am actually having way too much fun heh this is perfecttttt and this scene is one of my favourites.
illustrated by @neyite_art !! (so fun to work with you on this)
Hazelthorn is my YA gothic garden horror that’s like a very messed up Secret Garden meets the Inheritance Games with two boys locked in an obsessive hate-to-love spiral on a rotting gothic estate. think botanical body horror and hungry gardens. it’s out now in hardcover and coming October 27 in paperback with stencilled edges.
literally SURREAL seeing how many translations exist for Don’t Let The Forest In. it’s one of those “how is this my life” moments, especially when i went from my career being on the floor to this!? 🥹😭🙏 just a casual wall of my little dark academia gothic horror, off to horrify the world.
so far Don’t Let The Forest In been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Czech, Slovak, German, French, Hungarian, Chinese. coming soon in Italian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Romanian. (i don’t have any say or get to choose the translations so very grateful to any intl publishers acquiring rights and supporting my stories!)
