The awful, horrible, horrific thing
Sep 16, 2024 9:45 pm
"Emily nodded and then pulled out THE THING. The awful, horrible, horrific
thing that should never have been given to a child, yet the large wheels on either side of it and its garish paint job led her to believe it was, in fact, once a child’s toy."
—Excerpt from The House on the Cover of a Horror Novel by EV Knight
Just Released
THE HOUSE ON THE COVER OF A HORROR NOVEL is now available and EV Knight celebrated the release with an appearance on the Turn the Page podcast. It was a great episode where she spoke with Jenn Jordan about how women's bodies and body horror overlap and also how she chooses which scary things to describe and which to leave up to the reader's imagination. Listen to their conversation.
