Jamison Shea was once a flautist, violist, anthropologist, linguist, choreographer, dancer, professional fire alarm puller, digital producer, and account executive-but they've always been a writer. Born in Buffalo, NY and now surrounded by darkness and gloom in Finland, when Jamison isn't writing horror, they're drinking milk tea and searching for long-forgotten gods in eerie places.
Shea's writing is as graceful as the dancers in their book and will leave readers screaming for more blood. * Trang Thanh Tran, author of She Is a Haunting * Brutal and beautiful, this book will drag you through the bloodied depths of fierce ambition and into a raw, untethered world of chaos. * Lyndall Clipstone, author of Unholy Terrors * Cutthroat competition and eldritch horrors - of both the human and monstrous kind - collide headfirst in in this gloriously haunting and darkly thrilling novel. * Aiden Thomas, author of Cemetery Boys * Jamison Shea has cemented themself as a force to be reckoned with - and reminds us that when your enemies go low, you can always bury them there. * Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author * A sinister, delicious dive into a truly captivating villain origin story. In lyrical prose and a cutting pace, Shea explores the ways power corrupts and the way racist, elitist systems push us to hunger for it. * Courtney Gould, award-winning author of The Dead and the Dark *
