The synopsis says: “It’s the hottest summer on record and London is dying. Prices are high, pay is low, and stressed commuters are packed on to London Underground trains again like the pandemic never happened. To add to the misery, the temperatures underground just keep climbing and climbing, the heat trapped in the clay with nowhere to go. 
“Five travellers on an unlucky tube carriage find themselves bound together one morning as witnesses to a single horrific event – an event they can’t quite seem to remember. They make an unlikely team: weary tube driver, a disillusioned civil servant, an ambitious city trader, an overwhelmed hotel worker and an unhoused young man just trying to get by – but now they must come together to confront what they have seen and stop it in its tracks. Because there’s something lurking in the stifling darkness and labyrinthine tunnels that run below London… something old, something vicious, and something very, very hungry.” 
I couldn't be more excited to be working with @jonnywaistcoat on his next two novels! This is just more of what he does best - pulling apart the very seams of society and giving me very specific new sleep paralysis demons, and somehow getting me to say thank you afterwards.
And if you're near London next month, why not pop along to Gollanczfest to hear him chat all things horror with Joe Hill and V. V. James? Tickets are still available:

JUST A LITTLE SNACK: A SHORT STORY COLLECTION
A pregnant woman is devoured by an unsettling hunger. A man is buried alive, punished for a crime that is none. A boy goes missing, and he returns, changed.
In this collection of nine disturbing horror stories, the author of On Sundays, She Picked Flowers explores themes of disconcerting appetites of body and mind, of decay and the restless dead. Yah Yah Scholfield skillfully engages with Southern Gothic and Afro-Gothic traditions to create unsettling tales about nature, religion, and the body. Just a Little Snack is a perfect treat for fans of Her Body and Other Parties and What Moves the Dead.
Can everyone just like, scream with me and for me for a second? Because as of today, my short story collection is available for pre-order! Are y'all hungry for Just a Little Snack, or WHAT?
AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER ON NYX PUBLISHING

Y'all, I've been sitting on this for TEN MONTHS and now I finally get to talk about it!!!
I have a new QUEER YA HORROR graphic novel coming in 2026! Creepy ghosts, deep queer friendships, gender euphoria and trans self-realization... oh, and a haunted high school musical! It's exactly the type of horror story with heart that I always wanted to tell but didn't think I'd ever be "allowed" to..... and now I finally can!
(Different name 'cause it's YA, but yep, that's me!)
Pretty sure my agent and editor aren't on tumblr, but I still have to shout them out because they are AMAZING. Jen Azantian believed in this story from the start, and her feedback made me cry (in a good way). And Alex Aceves immediately understood the heart of the story, and her feedback has just been incredible. She knows exactly how to bring out the best in a story like this.
I can't wait to share it with all of you!

Art I did for the announcement of Saara El-Arifi’s new trilogy, Faebound!
(more info from her ig under the cut)
Introducing Yeeran and Lettle, the two main cast of my NEW TRILOGY starting with the first novel #FAEBOUND. Out Feb 2024. It has all the flavours you’ve come to know in my writing: a diverse cast, queernormativity, threads of arab my and african roots and perhaps a touch more 🌶️. But most of all FAEBOUND is born of #BlackGirlMagic Told in the dual point of view of two elven sisters captured here by @layaart (ty i love them so much). YEERAN is a Colonel of the Waning Army. Or she was before she was exiled. Far from home she comes face to face with a magical beast that might just be her salvation. The skin of the obeah has enough magical potency to created a weapon worthy of her freedom. LETTLE is a diviner, a reader of the fates. She follows her sister into the wilderness in the hope of bringing her home again. But she’s not alone, Rayan, a captain under Yeeran, has promised his former colonel to keep Lettle out of trouble. But trouble follows them both. Expect: Drum magic, rivals to lovers, hidden realms and of course…fae!

Ahoy everyone! I have wonderful news. After four and a half years of working on my book, it not only is now 100% complete, but tomorrow keep your eyes out for a very special post here, where I will be announcing the book's title, premise, and release date! It has been a long journey, and I've kept the premise under wraps for the most part (aside from a few I've spoken, or conferred, with). But its very gratifying to be able to state that the project is complete, and I am very excited to reveal more information tomorrow and in the coming days.

Hello everyone!
I have a book coming out next Saturday! It’s a little gay, very magical, and builds on the world in THE GHOST AND THE REAL GIRL.
Tumblr media
All her life, Adi has felt at home underground. The daughter of copper miners, it was expected that she would follow her parents’ into the Red Mines as soon as she was old enough. Only now, she wakes to find gemstones in her bed every morning. At first, it's exciting. New crystals ever day, and maybe her parents won't have to work for days on end. However, it soon becomes clear that each time she brings something to the surface, it vanishes from below, making the mountain crumble underneath them.
Suddenly one day, an earthquake buries her father and the other miners under ten tons of rock, trapping them deep underground. Adi must summon all of her new magic to find a way through the caves that snake their way through the mountain before they run out of air, water, and hope.
Preorder your copy now!!

My second fantasy anthology is coming out next week!
You can snag a copy from Amazon today if you want. There are 22 stories in this collection, most are fantasy but there are a few other genres (I'm really fond of the SF horror one about humans adopting an alien species). Some of the stories you might have already seen around Tumblr (like Siren Screech) but jazzed up a bit, others are brand new!
Give her a few months, and you'll find her in library systems too.

Cover Reveal!
Here's the official finalized cover of DOME 6, the third & last book in the Tinkered Starsong trilogy, out October 1, 2023. And that's a completed series in 4 months! Crazy for me.
Here's the preorder on all platforms.
Here's the link to get it directly from me and read the first chapter right away.
The print edition is coming soon, read about why it's a struggle to do print preorders here.
he audiobook always takes longer, read about why here.
Here's the blurb for ya:
Saving the unwilling with song, one planet at a time. 
New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger brings you the thrilling conclusion to her Tinkered Starsong trilogy in which the true purpose of the divinity is revealed at last. 
Can a group of performers take on an entire alien species? Do they want to, if the price of the truth is their own popularity and the safety of billions? 
Phex, Missit, and their pantheons are the most popular gods in the galaxy and the aliens will stop at nothing to keep them singing. But with great fame comes great responsibility. As Phex finally understands the consequences of the music he produces, he is forced to choose between being a god and destroying humanity.
If you could sing peace into the bones of the universe, would you? Even if no one wanted salvation? 
“A tapestry that is simultaneously witty, charming, exhilarating and downright fun.” – fantasyliterature.com (Soulless)
Ender’s Game but make it Kpop in the final installment of the Tinkered Starsong trilogy (follows Divinity 36 and Demigod 12) in which the mystery of the Dyesi is finally uncovered.
Tumblr media
Dear Gentle Reader,
I do hope you enjoy this final installment of Phex’s journey. Among other things you’ll get to visit a couple alien planets while he explores the power of art, celebrity, found family, and soup ladles.
Seriously though, the right shaped spoon is a really emotionally foundational pillar of my life. I’m sure you understand… and I know Phex does.
Yours, Miss Gail
