I am so thrilled that someone who writes such wonderful titles that feature strong, complex women was selected. Check out Cackle or Play Nice if you haven’t read her books before!

#Booksky Spooktacular 2025 Day 18: Black Sheep by @rachelharrison.bsky.social takes the story of a young woman returning home, turns it on its head, and gives you a hell of a ride. Harrison excels at balancing trauma and black humor, and the story has a very human emotional honesty, despite… y’know.

I read Play Nice by Rachel Harrison and I loved it so much! It may be my favorite one by her. She writes female relationships so well, it has haunted houses, ghosts, twisted mother daughter and sister relationships. Plus the cover!💗💜 Highly recommend! 🩸📚 #booksky @rachelharrison.bsky.social

Adding Play Nice to my favorite haunted house books list. It is also easily one of my favorites of @rachelharrison.bsky.social. (Black Sheep is still my GOAT of hers.)💜🖤🩷

I just listened to the audiobook of Play Nice and highly recommend it. Not too gory (there’s a bit, but it’s brief), scary but didn’t keep me awake. I’ve never lived in a haunted house, but my first place in LA had a bad feeling about it that took a few years to vanquish.
