A few sleuthing readers have found this ahead of time, but today’s the official announcement day: I have a new book coming from Saga near Halloween!

She Isn’t Herself Tonight is probably best described as my weird girl lit book, or if you like comparisons better, Saint Maud by way of The X-Files. It’s somewhat literary fiction, somewhat psychological horror, and all heart, one of those stories I just needed pulled out of me, perhaps by UFOs.

The cover art is by the wonderful Caroline Johnson, who also was the artist behind the cover for last year’s A Game in Yellow.

She Isn’t Herself Tonight will haunt your night skies on October 27th!

“A propulsive, thrillingly strange genre-bending novel full of yearning, that’s magically poignant, earnest, squirmy, and unsettling in equal measure. Blissfully twisted and genuinely heartfelt.”

– Rachel Harrison, New York Times bestselling author of Play Nice and So Thirsty

Available for pre-order at: Bookshop, Barnes and Noble, LibroFM, Amazon, Simon and Schuster

When Rabbit was ten years old, she was abducted by aliens. Then, it happened again when she was twenty. Now thirty, she’s ready for their next visit. What she isn’t prepared for is her boyfriend callously ending their long-term relationship and ejecting her from their shared home.

As her birthday approaches, the aliens still haven’t arrived. Rabbit descends into a spiral of growing paranoia and bizarre bodily transformations, until soon it seems that even her reflection has a mind of its own. With her only refuge being the chaos of strangers who might not have her best interests at heart, Rabbit worries that her ex’s abandonment not only severed her from his life, but also from her own. Struggling to orient herself within a world growing more topsy-turvy by the day, Rabbit must regain control before her aliens at last return.
