It’s October which means it’s been a year since I emailed @kithbooks.bsky.social and went “hey what do you think about a short story collection?” I for one think now is the PERFECT time of year to pick up YOU ARE NOT YOUR BONES if you like queer shit and hauntings that aren’t always literal :)

I finished the first draft of a thing that’s been giving me trouble for a Hot Minute, and while my brain is convinced it is Bad it’s still more than I’ve written in a while so here’s a snippet
💀 🪡 📝
This would be easier with Marco's original corpse, but the dead are easy to come by. Harder to shape, yes, but easy enough to find. Flesh meets flesh and the needle joins them together, stitch by agonizing stitch. The face is a mosaic of the closest approximations of Marco, as the adjustments are easier that way.

my newest novel, YOU’RE NO BETTER—a teen thriller about messy trans kids and serial killers—has an official summary!

this book is a rough one, and it tackles a lot of ugliness, but I love it so much and can’t wait to share it 💕
A white and pink graphic reading “YOURE NO BETTER: Official summary,” with broken glass in the background. Black text on a white background, reading: “Bestselling author Andrew Joseph White returns with another horrific YA thriller: a profound portrait of a struggling teen trying to convince the world—and himself—that he’s better than the serial killer who raised him. Morgan Slaughter, a seventeen-year-old trans boy with autism, put his serial killer father in prison years ago. Despite that, everyone thinks Morgan will grow up to be just like his dad: including his volatile mother, the documentary crew following their family, and maybe himself. Desperately, Morgan latches onto his father’s final victim—the only one who was never identified—hoping that if he unravels the mystery, he’ll finally prove he’s better than the man who hurt him. But this puts Morgan in the crosshairs of classmate Felicity Keating, who knows the truth about Morgan’s childhood—that he wasn’t just a witness to his father’s brutality, he was an accomplice. And if he doesn’t let them help with his investigation? They’ll tell everyone. Forced to confront his past, Morgan’s ugly but carefully controlled world unravels. The film crew is manipulative. His mother’s temper spirals into malice, then violence. And Morgan and Felicity may be more tightly intertwined than either of them can stomach… You’re No Better is a gritty and unapologetic coming-of-age suspense about teens who grew up surrounded by cruelty and are clawing their way to adulthood the only way they know how.”

"I told you " Stas said, looking up at his sister with a perfectly calm expression. He'd find out later that his eyes also glowed, the normally brown irises ringed in purple light, reflective and catlike in the dark. The fire had gone out in the time since Tatiana left and, without the crackle in the hearth, the library was as quiet as the grave.

Back to writing after the holidays (a Neolithic fantasy-horror YA & a secret short story) ft. my finally(!!) clean office… AND the new bookcase (far left) that my wife @allyscottauthor.bsky.social loaded up with the majority of the books I’ve blurbed 🥰🥰
A photo of a home office packed with books and art. There are two full bookcases, a bean bag chair, a glass desk with a laptop, and a plethora of art, prints, certificates, and awards hanging on the wall. There is also a cat laying on the floor beside the printer.

Now it’s time to make my bestie’s Pin kigurumi, which should be much easier by comparison! (They say after accidentally amputating and reattaching the WRONG SLEEVE AT FIRST)
A white wolf kigurumi but one of the ears and one of the sleeves have been replaced with those of a fox kigurumi to look like Pincushion from Critical Role

We are in fact IN. We will continue to be IN. Until the beastly holiday season is defeated. The onslaught of those shopping for their fathers will begin, and we will still be IN. Our history section will not survive the winter. But we will. Because the bookseller is IN.
