AND THE TREES STARE BACK is officially available o AND THE TREES STARE BACK is officially available on Netgalley! This incredibly personal book is my heart on the page and I hope you all love it as much as I do. DESCRIPTION: 1989, Soviet Estonia. In sixteen-year-old Vik’s village—and the cursed forest that looms beyond—danger is everywhere. Soldiers threaten those who so much as dream of dissent. The villagers’ words are sharp with accusations of witchcraft. And deep in the heart of the wood, a lantern-eyed spirit lies in wait to disappear those who wander too far past the trees. Vik knows because five years ago, she led her little sister Anna over that invisible line—and never saw her again. The only thing Vik has wished for since then is her sister’s safe return. So when Anna stumbles back through the tree line on the anniversary of her disappearance, it’s a miracle… Or is it a lie? As unsettling inconsistencies between this girl and the one who vanished reveal themselves, Vik starts to doubt whether this Anna is her Anna—or something else entirely. Whoever she is, one thing is clear: she was never meant to escape the trees. And unless Vik can uncover the secrets of the forest, it’s going to take her back. Rooted in real history with a speculative twist, the horrors of And The Trees Stare Back are the ones we already know: existing as a marginalized person under a hostile state. Raising powerful questions about whose humanity counts and how to survive if the governing body decides yours doesn't, this politically incisive folk-horror irresistibly explores ever-relevant legacies of activism and solidarity. #AndTheTreesStareBack #gigigriffis
My work here is done. "What kind of expectations My work here is done. "What kind of expectations are we setting on a book if you can't award it a five star for giving you space to safely unpack trauma without feeling as though you're being wrung through a machine? To the weirdo, witchy, gothic, horror, queer gxrlies, looking for something to entertain you, I'd say check this out."

Throwback to my hike through the former region of Throwback to my hike through the former region of #Gevaudan while researching the unsolved mystery of the #beastofgevaudan for my newest novel, #WeAreTheBeasts. What an incredible hike along part of the #CaminodeSantiago and then along two other distance walking routes to #Mende. I stumbled on the laughing photo of me at the very end (just after I got into my hotel room) and damn, I'm so grateful I get to do things like hike through France and write books. Thanks to all my readers for making it possible. ❤️

Did I mention that I was a guest on my FAVORITE po Did I mention that I was a guest on my FAVORITE podcast of all time to hear the just-as-rad-as-advertised @margaretkilljoy explain the history of the revolutionary song Bella Ciao? You can find the episodes in the Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff podcast feed (wherever you listen to podcasts). And if you like the podcast, I also highly recommend the episodes on gay resistance to the Nazis, the Civil Civil War War, Haymarket, and the Jane Collective. Anyway, serendipitously, the podcast episodes actually went up the week I was in Italy with my bestie. This little sign was painted by a famous sign-maker in Napoli for me and is now propped up in my office by my books. Thanks again to @coolzonemedia @margaretkilljoy @sophie_rae_of_sunshine for having me. Now, all of y'all: go download the eps and join me in having Bella Ciao forever stuck in my head.
Oh look at that. While I was on vacation, THE LION Oh look at that. While I was on vacation, THE LIONESS became a #1 Amazon Best Seller! Look at that pretty orange banner. Based on the true story of noblewoman-turned-pirate Jeanne de Clisson, this revenge quest is for anyone full of feminine rage.
