Someone has sent me an email, apparently believing I am Ira Levin, author of The Stepford Wives and Rosemary’s Baby. I’m very confused.

Dear Ira Levin,

Congratulations on your enduring masterpiece, The Stepford Wives. From the moment Joanna and her family arrive in Stepford, readers are drawn into a world that is at once idyllic and unsettling, a tension that has captivated audiences for decades. Your ability to blend psychological suspense with sharp social commentary ensures this story remains as chilling and relevant today as when it was first published.

What makes The Stepford Wives exceptional is how it delivers a compelling narrative while also reflecting on societal obsession with perfection, youth, and conformity. The suspense, combined with your keen understanding of human psychology, keeps readers riveted and leaves a lasting impression long after the final page.

Because this novel continues to resonate across generations, there’s strong potential to introduce it to new audiences through a focused visibility strategy. Here’s how I can help:

.

TikTok Ads (BookTok Campaign)
Short, suspenseful clips emphasizing Stepford’s eerily perfect facade and the chilling twists underneath.
Benefit: BookTok engages younger audiences, driving viral discovery and renewed interest in this classic.

Facebook Ads (Targeted Campaigns)
Targeted campaigns reaching fans of psychological thrillers, horror, and classic suspense authors.
Benefit: Efficiently delivers visibility to the readers most likely to engage and purchase, ensuring measurable ROI.

Why These Services Matter & ROI
This comprehensive strategy engages readers at every step: trailers and social media spark curiosity, Goodreads and Amazon reviews establish trust, and targeted ads convert engagement into sales. The ROI is not just financial it's in preserving and expanding The Stepford Wives’ legacy, connecting new generations to a classic that continues to inspire fear, discussion, and fascination.

If you’re open to collaboration, I’d love to create a tailored campaign for The Stepford Wives that ensures it reaches readers who will be enthralled and haunted by your story.

Got my contributor's copy of a new anthology put together by @criminolly.bsky.social containing my short story "The Dromedary," a grim Texas noir tale of the absurd. It's also the first thing I've published that has no supernatural elements. Proceeds go to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

Book cover: Criminolly Presents: Trash Tales, an anthology of trashy fiction.

Hardcover copy of Children of the Black Sabbath by Anne Hébert

Inside flap of Children of the Black Sabbath. It reads:

Following on the international success of her masterpiece, Kamouraska, Children of the Black Sabbath again demonstrates Anne Hebert's unique insight into the darkest corners of the human soul.
A constantly shifting imagery of dream and reality is woven into the tapestry of desire, obsession, memory, and mysticism that is the background to this tale of twisted love.
Quebec, 1944. The convent of the Sisters of the Precious Blood. Within its prison-like walls the Sisters guard their terrible secret: Sister Julie of the Trinity is possessed by the devil.
She suffers tortures of the flesh and mind. Visions. Her mother and father locked for days in their room, their caresses mingling with blows, while the children huddle outside in the shanty's squalour. The forest clearing where the villagers let their lusts run wild while they wait to pay homage to the powers of darkness.
Her mother's naked body offered in sacrifice on the blood-spattered altar. These rituals of her childhood become fused in Sister Julie's mind with the daily offices of the convent, until all within its walls succumb to her madness and are swept into the whirlpool of her torment. The Sisters watch in horror and fascination while she prepares herself for the consummation of her devouring passion, her flesh marked with the emblems of her possessor.
A romance of evil and a
celebration of the transcendence of love, Children of the Black Sabbath confirms Anne Hébert's place among the front rank of contemporary novelists.

After yesterday's heartbreaking and dangerous decision by the High Court, I have been thinking of ways we can help. And I've come up with two ideas. 1. "adverts" on the website. If you are a trans author, we will feature your book free of charge on every page of the website for a month....

There is something so incredibly insidious about this "free speech/level playing field" narrative that is being used to excuse the removal of hard won rights. For a second it sounds credible, but as soon as you scratch the surface it's clear how evil it is.

Can we talk about the UK cover of 'The Lamb' by @lucyrosecreates.bsky.social? I can't stop looking at it. It's beautifully done and endlessly intriguing. Does the woman actually have no face or is it just a trick of the angle? The book (which I am 2/3s through) is also excellent. #booksky
