My sister (who isn’t much of a reader) recently told me she’s keen to read more supernatural horror, and she’d rather read work on the shorter side (novella / short novel / anthologies). Does anyone have any recs?
Especially:
- supernatural
- fast paced and punchy
- no SA pls
- character driven

Seriously though everyone buy this book it’s incredible and I loved it
I was once told that this book - Magic, Maps, and Mischief - written by an autistic person about the autistic experience, did nothing new.
I didn't agree, and put it down to people judging worth differently.
1,600 sales later since October 24th, I'm glad people agree with me ❤️

Next up for drawtober is Troll Toll! And once again, I am facing my trifecta of illustration fears: foliage, architecture, and water 😆 It’s always good to push yourself to draw things that make you uncomfortable sometimes!

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to enjoy chocolate croissants and read Edgar Allan Poe by the fireplace in an ominous Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cool October night?

Next up for #drawtober is spellbound princess!
This has got several loving references to one of my all time favourite illustrators, Harry Clarke, and also Sergio Toppi.
I’ve included some process photos - the final work is in pen and ink on paper, but the planning sketch was digital.
See it at WFC!

The thing I find hardest about art shows is how to price my own art - it’s a balance between what I would like to take based on time spent and what I think someone will actually pay, and I’m still not sure I have it right.
I often write my list, then reflexively go back and lower the prices later…

Just bc a book contains a protagonist between 10 and 30, especially a female protagnoist, doesn't mean it's YA. Just bc the book is written by a woman (or someone you incorrectly assume is a woman), doesn't make it YA. Just bc a book is fun, written colloquially, or has romance doesn't make it YA.
