Okay, so long story short, because I have like, eh, five minutes. I did one press release thing with a newsletter that gets sent to a BUNCH of people and was a little miffed because they cut out the link to the book (what is the point of advertising if there’s no link to the think you are advertising asdfghjkl; don’t get me started on this). Anyway, I took another look at it after I calmed down and decided it didn’t work anyway because it was essentially just the back blurb with a few less sentences for length.
So I wrote up another one.
This one I’m going to use to (hopefully) try to get Zemblanity into a local bookstore. And maybe sweet talk them into letting me do a signing. Or sweet talk them into not letting me do a signing because I am nervous and awkward af and the thought of speaking to people ESPECIALLY if it’s something revolving around me or my work just makes me that much more nervous and awkward af. It’s a vicious cycle. You get it.
Anyway, point: Imma paste it below, and I would love some feedback.
Hold Onto Your Teeth…
Itsy Bitsy author and NPHS alumni, Manda Kay, released her first novel length horror, Zemblanity.
From an early age all the way into adulthood, Allyson Alexander has never been like most other people. She’s quiet, withdrawn, and does her best not to cry acid that summons monsters from another dimension to wreak havoc on those that have wronged her. She thinks she has them under control, but the body count keeps rising, the pile of teeth keeps getting bigger, and she’s running out of excuses. Unless this loaner at heart can learn to accept the help of a stranger who’s been following her every move, everything she knows and loves will be destroyed.
One reviewer said Zemblanity was “one of the best horror books I’ve ever read… If you look at it from different perspectives, sometimes it’s hard to tell who the villain is and who the hero is. I was surprised that the book had anxiety and negative aspects to life as well! Manda described everything in great detail, which I really loved! All in all, it’s a really good horror/fantasy and I think you should read it!”

Good? Bad?? I’m going to try and stop in later this week to do this, so if you have any suggestions, lay it on me.
Also, wish me luck.
