A close examination of hate steeped in blood, Bat Eater by Kylie Lee Baker is one hell of a read to kick off 2025. Emotionally moving and compulsively readable, Baker explores the harshest parts of our reality through the paranormal. My review: open.substack.com/pub/annarose...

Just found out my banter blood book is going to be an Amazon editor's SFF pick for January, chosen alongside others including Onyx Storm. This is all getting a bit mad now tbh
