The Twisted Spine Book Launch - The Minimalist by Kailee Pedersen. Joined by Kosoko Jackson (author of The Forest Demands Its Due).

The Minimalist by @kaileepedersen.bsky.social is intense, beautiful, and tragic. I can already tell this will be one of my favourite books of the year. See my full spoiler-free review on IG www.instagram.com/abrittlebee/...

Sacrificial Animals Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. I love when books are inspired by the author's actual life. Pederson was adopted from China and raised on a Nebraskan farm, so this story is completely in her wheelhouse. The story explores Chinese mythology, which isn't something I often…

Sacrificial Animals

Thank you, NetGalley, for this book. I love when books are inspired by the author's actual life. Pederson was adopted from China and raised on a Nebraskan farm, so this story is completely in her wheelhouse. The story explores Chinese mythology, which isn't something I often find in horror books. And this one was great. Nick and Joshua are raised by their abusive father on a farm.

Thank you to @georgesreads.bsky.social and FanFiAddict for this wonderful review! ❤️ THE MINIMALIST, my psychological horror novel of classical music, adoptee identity & artistic unraveling, releases August 18th. 🥚

George Dunn@georgesreads.bsky.social · 2w ago

“A novel that walks the line between artistic brilliance and complete self-annihilation with bleeding feet, @kaileepedersen.bsky.social’s sophomore novel is as rich as it is devastating and elegant as it is grimace-worthy.” @stmartinspress.bsky.social

It's been an incredible 3 weeks of writing at the Jan Michalski Foundation. Thank you to the staff and the other writers for making this experience so wonderful. I performed some French opera, went to Geneva and Lausanne & am almost halfway through a draft of my third novel! 🤠
