Rebekah Faubion

There’s a lot of new faces around here so I thought why not introduce myself & my books? I’m Rebekah, queer author & screenwriter living in Los Angeles. I write books about messy girls & women who sometimes m*rder people & who love animals & who subvert expectations & who are always bisexual. I enjoy horror movies & books, reading tarot, hanging out with my dog & my family, & visiting spooky spots with my friends. Thanks for coming on this adventure with me. 🖤

Right before the whirlwind of launching my YA horror novel I revealed the cover of my forthcoming adult horror novel WHAT A NIGHTMARE in @people & I need to take a moment again to marvel at the beauty @berkleypub created with @vikki.chu & @galactixy_illustrations . She’s a hottie with a vendetta and I love her. 🖤

Happy birthday, you wild, weird baby girl. ⛰️🔪🖤🐶 It’s funny how—though I am a writer and words are my paintbrush—for this thing, words are hard to find. I am going to try, and as you read this know that I am writing with tears in my eyes. Lost Girls is a gory, unhinged, emotional bloodbath. But I didn’t just write it because your girl loves to write a m3rd3r scene. I wrote it because… I have been a Lost Girl. Isolation has stalked me like a k!ller with a knife. Loneliness made me feel trapped. My rebellious drive to break out of every grip that tried to hold me is a survival instinct, but it is also a source of great pain. But in this quest for freedom and autonomy, I have learned a vital truth: we need each other. And it doesn’t have to be some cuddly, cute thing; to need each other, to help save each other. It is feral and gruesome to face the horrors, it is dangerous, it is violent, and still went must do it. I hope this book entertains and enthralls you, and I hope you find within it a boost of courage to face the island & find your way back home. To my Lost Girls and their dog: Evie, Tiger, Sunny, Callie, Gabby Adalyn, Blake, Megan and Vivian—thank you all for letting me tell your story and helping me understand the most ferocious part of my soul. To my editor, @_aliromig : Thank you for not being scared to take this journey to the island with me. To my agent, @ksboutillier : You are a girl I’d trust with life on any island we have to face. Thanks to @delacortepress for your courage to publish this story and @booksforwardpr for helping me shepherd this book into the world. And now, dear readers: the story is yours to experience, hold dear, and hopefully, find the hope stuck in the gaps of this story’s sharp, deadly fangs. 💜

A look at all the WHAT A NIGHTMARE swag! Thank you @danikacorrall & @catherine for helping bring the vision to life.🍑🐎🍪🔥

I am so hype that most of the cool swag we’ve created for WHAT A NIGHTMARE has come in ahead of my trip to Stoker Con! That means I get to bring A VERY LIMITED AMOUNT with me to hand out to anyone who comes to meet me—before it runs out! I will be at the Mass Author Signing on Friday as well as panels and an author reading. Please come say hi! Details about the swag: 🐎A refrigerator magnet from the fictional town of Friendship where WHAT A NIGHTMARE takes place. 🔥a matchbook from the honky tonk Coyote Crossroads 🍑 the Powers family holds a peach picking party every year at their sprawling ranch and this is the flyer advertising it 🍪Olympia’s (Haven’s mom) famous (infamous in the book?) peanut butter cookie recipe card (it’s a real recipe!) *ALL OF THIS SWAG WILL BE GOING OUT IN PR MAILERS THIS SUMMER STAY TUNED* I will also have LOST GIRLS OF HOLLOW LAKE swag items! And be signing LOST GIRLS at the con. And finally a reminder: You can request WHAT A NIGHTMARE on Netgalley NOW so you’ll understand the inside scoop on why all this swag is so incredibly perfect and a little bit demented 😈

STOKERCON!!!!! I’ll be there with some limited, new (yet to be revealed) swag for WHAT A NIGHTMARE, talking about two of my favorite topics: writing YA horror & Dogs in horror, reading something spooky + signing at the mass author signing. This is my first time at @stokercon_official and I absolutely cannot wait!!! #stokercon #yahorror #horrorlovers

It’s time, y’all! WHAT A NIGHTMARE is available to request on Netgalley. This book is a raw, dark, claustrophobic trip into the mind of a woman who can dream nightmares that kill. It’s cathartic and emotional and scary as hell. If you are on Netgalley—please please request! Even if you signed up for the early interest form or expect to get it through Berkley influencer programs. It helps others who don’t know about me or the book to discover it the more it is requested. If you signed up on the early interest form I put out back in February, Brittani @lavenderpublicrelations will reach out soon as we get the horse ready to leave the stable. I am so excited for readers to meet Haven Powers & her messed up fam in picturesque, hot as hell Friendship, Texas. Yeehaw & giddy up!! 🐎🍑
