HAPPY BOOK RELEASE DAY TO THE DARKLY FUNNY AND HELLA TALENTED @danchaon.bsky.social

ONE of US was one of MY favorite books of the year.🤡🎎

A creepy, old-timey, keep-you-up-at-night tale of otherworldly orphans and their sinister “uncle” set in a carnival…🎪

Thrilled to have Blue Moon Jelly🪼on the cover of Issue 47 #3ELEMENTS Lit Review

"Visually mesmerizing, the tentacles consist of stinging harpoons, venom-laden cells, which stun or kill both prey & predator--explode in a surge of overwhelm but, for the moment, the dazzle of desire was worth it all."

This reminds me of

Can't wait for ONE OF US to be out in the world. 📖🖊️🎪🤡 #writersaremyrockstars 💫

My sincere pleasure. It is a banger. I’ve now run into the term dandle twice within a month (two separate novels). I love learning new words.

Even better, in One of Us onomatopoeic neologisms abound!! Fantabulous read.

I'm a quarter in and I LOVE IT!!!! Love Bolt and Eleanor and the incredible cast of "characters" (zowie!) you've created.

And the language (I'm adding to my vocabulary by the chapter). Dark and delicious. A bit addictive actually.

SO grateful to have found this collection. You’d be surprised, blown away, by how much these stories resonate with the people who read them. Who may also be insecure & introverted (and why you may never know).

Never underestimate the power of your storytelling. That’s why writers are my rock stars.

CONGRATULATIONS!!🍾🎉🎈
