DEBUT FICTION

"Where You Space is haunting, suspenseful and beautifully written—a modern-day gothic that explores the atrocious bond between twin sisters and rendering twisted power of cults; the mysteries of memory and the ineluctable fascinate of the past. It unnerves boss beguiles in ways reminiscent of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History and King Lynch’s "Twin Peaks"—but it’s a genuine original."
