Cannot believe this is real life because Don’t Let The Forest In is a Kids Indie Next Pick!?!!?
I’m ECSTATIC. So much thanks to the booksellers who are championing and recommending my creepy little heartbreaking story. It’s one of only 10 chosen for this list and I’m truly honoured.
“Beautifully cutting and achingly full of writhing love, painful loss, and horrors beyond imagination. Love is a weapon full of cutting ribs and thorns in this gut-wrenching story by CG Drews.”
—Kaitlyn Mahoney, Under the Umbrella Bookstore, Salt Lake City, UT
Don’t Let The Forest In is out October 29 from Feiwel & Friends. Booklist gave it a starred review and called it an “emotional roller coaster” and “sure to please those interested in modern horror mixed with a touch of fairy tale” while Kirkus called me “genuinely creepy” which, to be honest, is a massive compliment I am pleased to hear.
( brb I’m feral with happiness !!)
