🦋 My debut eco-horror double feature is out now! 🦋

It's still a little surreal to me that I've got a book published, and I'm so happy to announce it's officially out!

"The Last Witch of Lonjsko Polje" is a story about an old woman having to confront her past when her deceased colleague's granddaughter comes to town hoping to claim his abandoned estate. With a setting in one of Croatia's nature parks and an ample amount of rain, darkness, and uncertainty during the turning of the seasons, it might provide the perfect read for the crisp autumn days. 🍂🍁

The bonus novelette "The Secret of Mrtvi Kal" is set to the west, in the snowy mountains of Gorski Kotar where a man is trying to uncover the inspiration behind his idol's work. The unforgiving cold, a raging obsession, and a strange, ancient forest provide amplify that feeling of seclusion only winter can bring.

The book is available NOW through different sites and stores, both as a paperback and ebook, and you can add it on Goodreads and Storygraph. As for any additional information, you can find it on Shtriga.com, my publisher's website. 💚

Psst! There's also a little snippet of the book available in the 9th issue of Morina Kutija, on page 207. The magazine is free to download through morinakutija.com or through Smashwords!

🌲📚 Eco-horror that cuts deep 📚🌲

@allison_mick’s debut novel Humboldt Cut is getting love from the @sfchronicle, and for good reason. Set in Northern California’s redwoods, this gripping eco-horror blends folklore, labor history, grief, and vengeance into a haunting, genre-bending story you won’t forget.

Described as “brisk,” “beguilingly strange,” and really entertaining, Humboldt Cut asks big questions about capitalism, violence, and the living earth, while keeping you on the edge of your seat.

How does history fit into visions of the future, and what does character have to do with it? Join us as we discuss all this and more.
