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. #bookstagram #ajgnuse #author #fiction #horror #literaryfiction
