Absolutely loved this book! So technical and detailed (charts!! 😍) but at the same time heartfelt and engagingly written. Makes me want to reread LOTR and Sil (will have to wait for a time when I have less unread books on my TBR pile ... 😅)

“Joanne Anderton's Pixerina is a gripping study of an artist's compulsion to create and the effects it has on those caught in the wake of her reawakening a muse. The ending of this one left me shaken.”

Thank you @unstablebooks.bsky.social for the early review of PIXERINA: A Haunting by @joanneanderton.bsky.social. If you love Del Toro's Spanish-language films, this quiet haunting is for you. Pre-order wherever books are sold.

“Atmospheric and whisperingly devastating, Pixerina trades jump scares for emotional unease, delivering a haunting that feels devastatingly real and all the more unnerving for it.”

Some more Pixerina inspiration from the Norman Lindsay gallery! These beautiful fierce women haunt and inhabit the gardens. They're mythological and real and every single one watches you as you wander past...

Posting so I can remember which movies we've seen 😅 I really enjoyed this! Moments of gruesome horror balanced with humour. Danny Elfman score a tad overpowering tho. Power going off in the theatre right in the middle only added to the experience

Pixerina comes out soon and in preparation I visited the Norman Lindsay gallery! That beautiful house with its gardens inhabited by magical statues was in my mind while writing this book. Like this woman, watching over the pool. Imagine swimming out there, wouldn't you feel safe under her gaze?
