I am such a huge Sarah Read fan (her collection Out of Water is phenomenal), and I'm so grateful to have a blurb from her for Cyanide Constellations.

A little less than two weeks to go! You can also now order signed paperbacks!

I'm beyond thrilled to announce I have a new novel coming out. A fierce, feminist, and totally queer werewolf novel.

This might have been the most fun I've ever had writing a book, and I seriously can't wait for everyone to meet Elsa and Jacey! 🐺🖤🐺

The blurb reads: “Sara Tantlinger’s Cyanide Constellations: And Other Stories
expertly explores the beauty and brutality of nature, the
search for love and meaning, the blight of humanity, and
our insistence on scorching a path to our own destruction.
Gorgeous but bleak, Sara’s prose are a bittersweet and utterly
captivating toxin.”
