Big congrats to Gretchen Felker-Martin! Her new novella, Black Flame, is an instant USA Today bestseller. We think it’s pretty fantastic, but you don’t need to take our word for it.
“Black Flame is depraved, shocking, and devastatingly beautiful. A hypnotic cosmic horror journey that travels both outward and in, pushing through the viscera and slime to reveal something truly profound about the nature of art itself.”
―Chuck Tingle, USA Today bestselling author of Bury Your Gays
“Nasty, erotic, kinky, vicious, suspenseful….Felker-Martin uses the trope of the cursed movie and creates something utterly unique that manages to horrify, beguile, and empower in equal measure. If you are going to read one horror book this year, make it this one.”
―Johanna van Veen, author of My Darling Dreadful Thing
“Black Flame is a literary razor blade raked right over the reader’s eyeballs, Un Chien Andalouing the shit out of us with nearly every page. Gretchen Felker-Martin is ready for her close-up, and this book further testifies to her blood red reign as horror’s enfant terrible.”
―Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
“Felker-Martin’s stunning prose is equal parts grotesque and lyrical as she turns an unflinching gaze on the extremes of compulsion and desire on the way to a truly devastating climax. The story threads the difficult needle of presenting unsympathetic characters and complicated relationships without compromising its vision, and the results are spectacular.”
―Publishers Weekly, starred review
