HOT LIBRARY INTEL: you can ask your library to purchase specific titles for their collection, usually right through the library's website. Librarians can't know every single new title, nor can they mind-read what their patrons might want to check out. Give it a shot!

If you know, you know. 🔪🥧

A very nice review in this mid-2025 list! 🖤 youtu.be/QIJKERVtji4?... @daviddemchuk.com

Heads up, Victorian psychos - big thanks to @daviddemchuk.com and Corrine Leigh Clark for this fantastic take on the penny dreadful, a total feast of murder, conspiracy, and striving in that dirty ol town - a massive epistolary tale that keeps broadening the horror, right to the last damn word. Yum.

My cat and I organized our reusable bags today.

My wonderful landlady has given me the keys to her backyard office so I can use it as a writing space and put all my books there. 🥲

Today’s the day! Happy UK pub day Mrs. Lovett! 🥧🥧🥧

The Butcher's Daughter by @daviddemchuk.com and @corinneleighclark.bsky.social reimagines the story of Mrs. Lovett, centering her and making her a fully rounded character, far more than just an accomplice to the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. sohopress.com/books/the-bu...

The New York Times has named The Butcher's Daughter a "Can't Miss Horror" title. 🥮https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/books/what-to-read-next.html

A custom silver pendant made from an antique spoon featuring Little Miss Muffett, handcrafted by JG Jewelry at Chelsea Market in NYC. I love it so much.

The Butcher Shop! But not THE butcher shop although coincidentally there was a gaslamp on the street outside! Spotted in Brooklyn.

It was a great party at Hell’s Hundred in NYC last night and so nice to meat the whole team though we were missing a special person, coauthor @daviddemchuk.com And there was pie! 🥧

Spotted @daviddemchuk.com and @corinneleighclark.bsky.social on the table at Books Are Magic yesterday

A special edition of The Butcher's Daughter by @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social

That time I haunted @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social

Thank you to my local independent bookstore, Manticore Books, for stocking The Butcher's Daughter! There are four signed copies on the shelf in Orillia!🥧🥧🥧🥧

I finally finished, and I got to say the minute I picked up "The Butchers Daughter," I could not set it down. Thank you @daviddemchuk.com and @corinneleighclark.bsky.social for such an amazing story. I look forward to future reads.

Thank you to everyone who came out to Little Ghost Books @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social today for the launch of The Butcher's Daughter with special guest @sillysyntax.bsky.social It was a great turnout! @daviddemchuk.com and I appreciate the support!

Packed, great book launch at @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social for @daviddemchuk.com's and @corinneleighclark.bsky.social's Clark's new novel The Butcher's Daughter. It's an incredible, rich, creepy Victorian story (and a beautiful book)—highly recommended!

TOMORROW! We’re hosting @daviddemchuk.com @corinneleighclark.bsky.social for the signing for THE BUTCHER’S DAUGHTER. This great victorian-era novel tells the tale of Mrs. Lovett and the most notorious pie shop through dossiers and letters. Q&A with our pal @sillysyntax.bsky.social ! Don’t miss it

Reminder that this excellent book is out today and it is SICK in every way you want it to be.

Hooray! An immersive, creepy, creative, under-your-skin novel. You know I love a reinterpretation, especially one that looks at the whole lineage of a story, and understands why it has resonated, and rings it again for a new generation.

I’m happy to see The Butcher’s Daughter so near the top of the bestseller list for LGBTQ horror on its first day! 🥧🥧🥧

This is delicious! Cheers! 🥂
