Such a rich study of character—loved it.

Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate and share the cover for Doll Parts. The vibes are strong with this one: grunge, friendship, Sylvia Plath, & some ghosts that just wouldn’t go away.
Please pre-order and listen to ALOT of Courtney Love in the meantime. 🫶

In my spare time (hmmm…) I run a tiny business for people living w/ #dementia and those who love & care for them. If you need a gift for someone in your life, I hope you’ll consider (ho-dee-ay). hodeeay.com 2 themes: Birds & Car Show. We have no marketing budget (or skill), thus, this post.

Current read: Eliza Clark’s ‘She’s Always Hungry’
Halfway through and every story is so weird and unique! Highly recommend for fans of short #speculative fiction and cosy (or not so cosy) #horror.
I also love this cover. It’s giving #TheSubstance vibes.
