This book was both the easiest and hardest thing I've ever written. It's also the least made up thing I've written. Quyanaq to @tornightfire for your faith in it, my agents for your advocacy, the incredible designers of the cover, and all the phenomenal people who said nice things about it.

"The former centers on the Kushtuka, a creature who takes the form of a loved one, and a young woman whose sister goes missing from her remote Alaskan town." HOLY SHIT. My childhood in Alaska was FULL of Kushtuka ghost stories, so I'm gonna be FIRST IN LINE for @mathildazeller.bsky.social's book.

“Kushtuka” by @mathildazeller.bsky.social in H&O’s #TheGhostBoxIV How you hoped it would end. Indeed @ttbrader.bsky.social similar in the devouring, but this time it’s for revenge/justice and not, um, supper. I need to pay more attention to the graphics on the cover of the stories…

Kushtuka by Mathilda Zeller in H&O's Ghost Box Shared themes with yesterday's 'Window': smiles that distort faces, teeth that tear flesh ... "...if it weren't flesh & blood itself, it wouldn't be able to do, whatever it just did."

The Revenge of Bridget Cleary (read as part of my SPFBO9 readalong) mashes together horror, historical fiction and fantasy to create a powerful story. A weird book that shows @mathildazeller.bsky.social's skill as an author. Here it is my review:
