Zora soon finds herself plagued by visions of the past, and her grip on reality starts to slip as she struggles to uncover what is real and what is folklore.

But when a student goes missing, Zora starts to wonder if the Keepers ever really disbanded.

As she delves into the history of the beast, she uncovers a rumored secret society called the Keepers that has tenuous ties to the beast…and Bricksbury itself.

When her thesis advisor hands her a strange diary and suggests she research the local folklore about a beast roaming the woods surrounding campus, Zora finds a community uneager to talk to an outsider.

More about my Southern Gothic horror novel, I’LL MAKE A SPECTACLE OF YOU:

Zora Robinson is an ambitious grad student in her dream program, Appalachian Studies, at Bricksbury University.

My novel is also a work of religious horror.

The characters are Black and queer, with complex (oftentimes horrifying) relationships to the Black church, biblical doctrine, and God Himself.
