Just finished reading this book. My daughter read it too. It’s so very special and I so wish I’d had it on my shelf as a kid.

For #CRPCabinRaids I just had to sneak over to #CRPNightcrawlers since I’m missing my horror peeps. The monster in my current WIP is a succubus feeding on the hormones of pubescent girls. Super fun for my MC. #CRPsugargliders #camprevpit

I didn’t remember much of it from reading it as a kid. But it was fun to see how influential it was in the genre.

Rachel @raeblainewrites.bsky.social · 25/04/2026
Of course I’ll be at a bday party with my kids. But that’s ok! I’ll find time to squeeze some writing in eventually!

I just read a great historical fiction book called Freewater. But I also recently read A Wrinkle in Time again and it’s still quite good IMO.

I prefer early morning when I have the time! I like to write before my kids wake up. I’m pacific time if that helps with sprint scheduling! But i often try to write whenever I can (which isn’t a lot lately).

Hello #CRPsugargliders ! I’m so happy to be here! I usually write YA but am working on an MG horror about a girl who becomes a vampire when she hits puberty. I’ve been reading more MG lately (just finished A Wrinkle in Time) and my 9yo daughter is my inspiration! #camprevpit #campkickoff

THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA × BEST SERVED COLD × THE BUTCHER BOY When a Court Jester snaps and brutally murders the tyrant king, he must perform and slay his way out of a kingdom in chaos, hunted by loyalists, hailed by rebels, while his sanity slips and fractures. #PosterPit #W #A #F #H
A vertical poster for "MARK OF THE JESTER" features a split-color design: white on the left with black elements and black on the right with white elements. A thin border frame at the top contains the phrase "A DARK FANTASY."
​The central image consists of a large, stylized jester’s mask split down the middle to match the background. The mask features one hollow eye hole and a wide, grinning mouth colored deep red. Four mirrored rose silhouettes surround the mask.
​The title is rendered in a distressed, hand-drawn font. On the left, a black laurel wreath contains the text, "A most unreliable narrator!" On the right, a white laurel wreath contains the text, "Horror! Madness! Laughs!"
​The bottom left includes an "R" rating box with warnings for violence, sexual content, language, and disturbing images. The bottom right lists "WRITTEN and DIRECTED by B. VAN BODEGOM" above a synopsis regarding a jester and a king.
