I'll Make A Spectacle of You
Appalachian folk horror meets Get Out with a dash of secret societies in this heart-pounding debut from Beatrice Winifred Iker. Perfect for fans of Erin E. Adams and Tananarive Due.
This heart-pounding Southern gothic horror debut from Beatrice Winifred Iker takes readers to Bricksbury University, the oldest and most storied HBCU in the nation. But as one student is about to find out, a long history comes with a legacy of secrets.
Zora Robinson is an ambitious grad student in her dream program, Appalachian Studies, at Bricksbury University. When her thesis advisor hands her a strange diary and suggests she research the local folklore about a beast roaming the woods surrounding campus, Zora finds a community uneager to talk to an outsider.
As she delves into the history of the beast, she uncovers a rumored secret society called the Keepers that has tenuous ties to the beast...and Bricksbury itself. Zora soon finds herself plagued by visions of the past, and her grip on reality starts to slip as she struggles to uncover what is real and what is folklore. But when a student goes missing, Zora starts to wonder if the Keepers ever really disbanded.
There's something in the woods and it has its eyes on Zora.
