HER WICKED ROOTS
“Her Wicked Roots is a stellar, genre-bending debut from Tanya Pell. It’s a full-fledged Gothic, creepy as hell and full of yearning, soaked in dread and mystery. I can’t want to see what Pell does next!”
- Christopher Golden, New York Times Bestselling author of The Night Birds and The House of Last Resort
“A horror horticulturist who has cultivated a manic botanic gothic that grafts Silvia Moreno-Garcia to Daphne du Maurier, and what sprouts out is absolutely beautiful.”
-Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters and Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
“Darkly enchanting, HER WICKED ROOTS is haunting, propulsive and as hypnotic as the poisonous blooms at the novel’s heart. Truly a bewitching sapphic delight.”
– Francesca May, author of Wild and Wicked Things and This Vicious Hunger
“Tanya Pell’s Her Wicked Roots is a winding, creeping ivy, a nighttime garden bursting and blossoming with rich texture and dark, sinister bouquets. Beautiful flowers can, however, be deadly. A richly Gothic and lush retelling.”
- Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Vanishing Daughters
“This gorgeous, haunting story coiled tight around my heart and refused to let go. An intoxicating tale of secrets, desire, hurt and bravery, rooted in the fear of losing the ones we love. Tanya Pell is such an exciting voice in horror, and this gothic mystery is truly unforgettable.”
- Josh Winning, author of Heads Will Roll
CICADA
“A debut that shocks and delights, a found-footage gem to be handed around the friend group…Creepy and fun, struck through with true genre savvy.”
— Adam Cesare, author of Clown in a Cornfield
“Seething with a feminine rage that builds to a deafening roar, Tanya Pell’s CICADA terrifies with reinvigorated small town horror tropes while delivering that wonderfully familiar VHS horror flick camp. A real bitch of a novella.”
— Rae Wilde, author of I Can Fix Her
“Got under my skin to tickle and terrify in equal measure. Tanya Pell's wickedly creepy—and funny!— debut reads like John Carpenter had a bug baby with Guillermo del Toro.”
— Josh Winning, author of Heads Will Roll
SHORTS
“When I tell people that some of the scariest stories I've ever read are short stories, “Oh, What a Tangled Web” by Tanya Pell, is an example of what I'm referring to. The ending of this story had me doing that awkward, wide-eyed look around me to take inventory of who is witnessing me panic laugh.”
— Goodreads review of “Oh, What a Tangled Web”
