November 20 at 7:00 PM ET

Book Club – Join us to discuss K.J. Charles’ All of Us Murders! It’s a TON of fun, one of the best depictions of ADHD we’ve ever seen in a novel, and the perfect Gothic November read.

Here’s the description: “When Zeb Wyckham is summoned to a wealthy relative’s remote Gothic manor, he is horrified to find all the people he least wants to see in the world: his estranged brother, his sneering cousin, and his bitter ex-lover Gideon Grey. Things couldn’t possibly get worse. Then the master of the house announces the true purpose of the gathering: he intends to leave the vast family fortune to whoever marries his young ward, setting off a violent scramble for her hand. Zeb wants no part of his greedy family–but when he tries to leave, the way is barred. The walls of Lackaday House are high, and the gates firmly locked. As the Dartmoor mists roll in, there’s no way out. And something unnatural may be watching them from the house’s shadowy depths… Fear and paranoia ramping ever-higher, Zeb has nowhere to turn but to the man who once held his heart. As the gaslight flickers and terror takes hold, can two warring lovers reunite, uncover the murderous mysteries of Lackaday House–and live to tell the tale?”

And here are some reviews!

“Twisty, atmospheric, and more than a little indebted to Agatha Christie, this satisfying whodunit with a queer twist will keep readers up all night.” – Publisher’s Weekly

“All of Us Murderers balances loathsome characters, a plethora of dastardly twists and well-earned romantic reconnection. Fans of historical romance and mystery lovers with a taste for steam will not put this book down till the last body is buried.” – BookPage

“The mist from the English moors creeps eerily over this story laced with romance, mystery, and intrigue.” – Booklist

Charles’ trigger warnings include: Romance with heavy Gothic vibes. Ableism directed against a character with ADHD. Homophobia. Misogyny. References to rape, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, child abuse (not shown on page). Horrible family. Murder. References to enslavement, the slave trade, and abuse of enslaved people. False imprisonment. Character in grip of phobia. Spiders.

Arachnophobes, if you can take references to spiders but just want to avoid longer passages with graphic text, there are two scenes to avoid –> Chapter 13: skip from where Zeb goes upstairs after leaving Wynn, and go straight to the next chapter. Chapter 23: Don’t read the first paragraph. Then towards the end of the chapter, when Zeb is leaving the library, you might also want to skim over after the dialogue line, “Whatever you do, stay quiet” for the next few short paragraphs until the para beginning, “Eternity passed”. (Sorry, that one is harder to mark in the text!)

If you would like to join us, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for November!

Press

We had the honor of being interviewed on Drinking Tea with Monsters, a podcast dedicated to “OCD and other, less scary monsters.” We talked about Brittany’s struggles with OCD (and how Sara supports her), about Carterhaugh, and how we work together. We also retold the fairy tale “The Boy Who Went Forth to Learn About Fear” in our own, delightfully irreverent way (did you know it can be applied to neurodivergence? And features a whole ghost bowling scene?), so don’t miss that at the end. Click here to listen!

We did a delightful interview with Addie Hirschten for the Studio Alchemy podcast! Click here to read about it and listen.

Publications

We had a poem, “Janet to the Fairy Queen,” published in the brand new fairy-tale and folklore magazine, The Otherworld! It’s a GORGEOUS issue, created by two amazing women, and you can grab it for just $5 right now! We’re so excited that this new folklore-inspired creative outlet exists, and we highly encourage you to go support it!
