Produktbeschreibung
A picture is worth a thousand nightmares... The twisty and compelling adult dark fantasy debut from award-winning author, Kosoko Jackson.
Autorenporträt
From a young age, when he wrote his first narrative at six about kindergartners being eaten by a bear, Kosoko Jackson has loved stories. Now he writes them for teens and adults. He is the author of several YA novels starring Black queer protagonists, including his debut, Yesterday Is History, and Survive the Dome, and his adult novel was the winner of the 2023 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Romance. When not trying to decide how to best torture his characters next, he can be found playing with his golden retriever, Artemis; attempting to hit his one-hundred-movies-a-year goal; or playing video games (badly).
