1. it’s the perfect read if you’re a fan of fairytales (which, as scarlett describes in her author note: fairytales are a great mix of horror + fantasy — couldn’t agree more!)

‍

2. the story revolves around a riddle :: "Everyone knows his name. It knows no stranger. It is the wail on the lips of a birthing mother, the howl from the mouth of a grieving lover. It is the cry that breaks the night when death is summoned and the scream that echoes at daybreak when truth makes you ache."

‍

3. spice, spice, and spice 🌶️

‍

4. it’s a novella, which means it’s the perfect thing to read next if you’re trying to reach your reading goal for this year 😉 i read it in a day!

‍

5. it’s the first of SEVEN novellas, so if you like it, you have a lot more to look forward to!
