took my newest book, YOU’RE NO BETTER, into Washington DC (with @allyscottauthor.bsky.social and @emjayvii.bsky.social) to see some real locations from the novel! The Smithsonian, Eastern Market, and the Wharf 🙏💕
A copy of YOURE NO BETTER held up in front of a taxidermy elephant. A copy of the book in front of a cave painted wall of hands, with two actual hands touching the wall.A copy of the book with the US Capitol in the distance. A copy of the book in front of the DC Wharf.

You Are Not Your Bone & Lesser Misfortunes
Alice Scott
Volo, the main character of the titular story, stands in front of a window, the light of a full moon revealing their bones.
“So. Mr. Pacey, I’m here to offer you an opportunity. I can let you continue on the…trajectory you’re currently on, and who knows? Maybe you manage to grab the window frame and stop your fall, though it would be quite impressive for a man as drunk as you. So. You could keep going with your life, however short that may be, or you can join me and become the thing that lurks in the dark, if you so desire. You’ll have access to places you could never imagine."
- The Killing of Christian Pacey

The top text reads “Anna Kaufman at Vintage bought North American rights, at auction, to Views from the Overlook, by screenwriter Jamie Flanagan (pictured I.), from Lane Heymont at the Tobias Literary Agency. The horror anthology features new stories set at the infamous hotel from Stephen King's The Shining, prior to the events of the novel, featuring such writers as Chelsea Cain,” and the bottom image is an Instagram screenshot. “Andrew Joseph White” is written on Overlook Hotel stationary and posted by Jamie Flanagan.
