A year of #HarrowtheNinth on Bar Cart Bookshelf! The Ninth Saint is one of the first book cocktails I made, a year before I started the channel; I was thrilled to stir it up last fall for my reread. An austere mix of floral & herbal with a touch of smoke & darkness.

When I read this novella in submissions, I knew we had to have it. The story is dark and timely, focusing on damaged systems: bodies and planets, human and animal. We are more alike than not, every person a world being ravaged by changing climates: environmental, emotional.
