Happy book birthday, @bethanycmorrow.com 🎉

THE BODY is out today! It's terrific and twisted and twisty, and I said it "marries religious and domestic horror beautifully, wearing a bridal veil of trauma as cuts and carnage."

If you missed last night's event, check her book tour, and THE BODY 🔥

We love a collage. And a preorder! The Body drops February 10, 2026.

Thou who stayest ready hath no need of gettingth ready: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
Collage depicting imagery and themes from the novel, The Body by Bethany C Morrow. A Black woman sits, forlorn, before a Palladian window, blood spatter around. There’s a pile of stones, the silhouette of a woman reaching longingly toward the silhouette of a man wearing a halo made of wedding rings. Religious imagery includes stained glass.

But the parents are so lost they don’t even realize that it’s not the classes that changed your kid, it was separation from YOU. No gender studies, sociology, or history class could ever accomplish what three months of not having to live with your bullies will do.
