They settled on 2,500 words b/c we read @kevinrmaloney.bsky.social's story "Ghost" and they decided that was a length they liked--"kinda long, but without feeling long," so someone copy/pasted the text into Word to get an exact count, then rounded up. Editing!

Our wasp book from Hell is getting some eyes on it at Netgalley. Feels good to see horror fans responding to debut books like Meat Bees and Of Beasts. We want to always be a home for special debuts and responses like this are always encouraging! 🐝 👹🫡
