If you see this, post a monster

Here's my spooky grave creature :)
A black and white illustration of a cemetary with a dog-like creature struck by arrows. The text reads "Do not depend on me."

AN EMBODIMENT OF SOULS is coming in November 2026 from Union Square & Co. 🎉Beyond, beyond excited to be announcing this as my debut. It's dear to me, it's queer, and it's all about confronting purity culture & the patriarchy, and taking back your body and your magic 🖤🖤
Julia Laurel's AN EMBODIMENT OF SOULS, pitched as A DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAGICIANS meets MORTAL FOLLIES in a HANDMAID'S TALE society, in which a young woman from a culture of fundamentalist necromancers, who agrees to a marriage of convenience to magically inhabit her husband's body and save her father from a corrupt political conspiracy, is thrust headlong into a rebellion for bodily autonomy, to Ardyce Alspach at Union Square & Co, in a very nice deal, in a two-book deal, for publication in November 2026, by Ernie Chiara at Fuse Literary (world).
