The UK & Commonwealth paperback edition of #GirlintheWalls is out! Thanks so much to @4thestatebooks for making this incredible trailer.
Their new cover shows one of my favorite scenes from the book—one of the times when Elise, the girl in the walls, was surprising even me.

“Gnuse’s masterfully crafted slow burn ignites into a hair-raising thriller that is as unnerving as it is unexpected.”

Thanks @ajcnews for this incredible review of #GirlintheWalls

And thanks to my grandma @barbaraphammond in Atlanta for the photo. ☺️

I’m excited to share that I’ll be having a conversation with Southern author legend—and my former teacher—Clyde Edgerton next Wednesday at 7pm (CST). I’m looking forward to talking #GirlintheWalls and picking Clyde’s brain on writing and publishing. The event is free, digital, and hosted by @brazosbookstore. Registration link in my bio—hope to see you there!

Thanks @largeheartedboy for inviting me to share the soundtrack for #GirlintheWalls. If you aren’t yet familiar with LargeHeartedBoy, it’s this fun blog where authors make playlists for their books and talk about the connection. It was exciting to be able to bridge two loves—music and stories—here. Check out the full post on Blog.LargeHeartedBoy.com

It’s been a wonderful few months with the publication of #GirlintheWalls across the world with @4thestatebooks and @eccobooks. Fully vaccinated, Donnie and I are excited to hit the road, visit friends, and have fun. We’ll be enjoying going back home to New Orleans soon to enjoy seeing houses like this one.
In the meantime, I’m excited to share an essay I’ve published with @literaryhub about creepy children in books and film—and the strange collisions of fear and pity.
Wishing y’all well. Hope that, wherever you are, you aren’t as frightened as @donnie.estelle has been staying up late to read Shirley Jackson.

It’s #GirlintheWalls US pub day! Well, this is a dream come true. I walked into @bncollegestation, and there it was, right at the front. Thanks to so many people who have been so supportive along this journey—especially @donnie.estelle. It’s wonderful to be able to share this day with you.
