In a new serialized novella from Hugo Award-winning author Sarah Gailey a fractured group of undesirables work together to nurture and nourish each other while navigating a dangerous world—inch by inch, meal by meal—they build their own future. Have you eaten?

Today, Asunder is released.

This novel is my best, weirdest, most tender work, and I poured my heart into it.

I hope it finds its readers. I hope it soars.

I will always treasure getting to celebrate Kyr in person with you & getting the chance to be a part of your books will always be a career highlight ♥️😭

Ruoxi Chen edited Some Desperate Glory and without her the book would not exist. This was probably the Hugo I cheered loudest for last night. SO well deserved.

thank you!!

REVIEW: Asunder by Kerstin Hall Asunder by Kerstin Hall is brimming with arcane horrors, uncanny atmosphere, darkly wondrous magic, divine meddling, and broken characters.

I got tagged in this review, and then needed to lie down for a bit.

Amongst the least of her bad choices.

Come meet Ferain!

ASUNDER by @kerstinhall.bsky.social comes out next week and I will personally fistfight you if you don’t check it out. Look, you can read the first chapter for free over here, you have no excuse not to get hooked!! reactormag.com/excerpts-asu...

1000% agree with this! And honestly, I hope my worlds have half as much originality and precise execution as Kerstin’s does. She’s a writer I admire and wish to emulate!

Buy ASUNDER y’all! You will not regret it
