SHE'S HERE! The re-release was meant to be last week but we had unexpected port strikes to contend with...but I'm ecstatic to announce that my coastal possession horror about a folly tower overlooking the sea where odd and horrible things happen is now available in paperback wherever you buy books!

I saw my book on the shelves at Waterstones and couldn't quite believe it. After so much blood, sweat, tears, so many books, all those moments of self doubt...it all feels surreal. I'm so tired! And happy!

Out in hardback, ebook and audiobook in the UK. USA readers, your hardback is coming in Jan.

I'm finally a big 5 published author!

Feminist, formication folk horror with creepy crawlies, ancient traditions, unsolved murders, weird processions, masks, an old pub and an excellent dog.

Acclaimed horror writer, editor, voice actor, podcaster, and artist @manylittlewords.bsky.social tells us about the genesis of ITCH!, her latest feminist horror hitting shelves just in time for spooky season.

On a white background is the text: From pen to print: Gemma Amor on ITCH! The book cover for ITCH! is pictured top right; it is a bright pink with black and yellow writing, and features a close-up of an eye. Gemma is pictured underneath this: she is a white woman with long brown hair; she has one hand on the side of her head and looks at the camera with one eyebrow slightly raised.

ITCH! by @manylittlewords.bsky.social has everything: murder mystery, folk horror, body horror that leaps out of the page & infects the reader, examination of mental illness and the classic, supernatural or mental? #BookSky ARC from #NetGalley and @hodderbooks.bsky.social for my honest review:

Hello! It's a folk horror, femgore murder mystery novel set in the Forest of Dean about a young woman who stumbles across an ant-infested body while out walking one day. Lots of rural dread, masks and a weird procession!
