🎄🎁 DEAD INK ADVENT DAY 9 🎁🎄

You know what as a serial cold weather apologist and general advocate for all stay-inside-under-blanket-with-book-and-beverage inducing conditions, even I can sympathise with those of you inclined toward warmer days after the weekend of storms we've just had. So for day 9 of #12daysofbundles here's a book bundle just for you: the 🌻 I MISS SUMMER 🌻collection.

FEATURING:

SWANNA IN LOVE 🦢 by Jennifer Belle takes place in the summer of 1982 and introduces us to whip-smart fourteen year old Swanna, with a less than reliable mother who rocks up (late) to bring her back from summer camp with a new (Russian) boyfriend in tow to take her not home but to an Artists' Retreat (that doesn't allow kids). Hilarious, heartbreaking, and to use Alice Slater's immaculately summarised assessment: "In the business, we call this an absolute banger,"

WATER SHALL REFUSE THEM ☀️ by Lucie McKnight Hardy is a stunningly executed blend between coming of age story and folk horror about a girl who invents her own kind of witchcraft the summer her family moves to a small village on the border of Wales in aftermath of an immense loss.

LOST IN THE GARDEN 🌸 by Adam S. Leslie is what you'd get in the village in Hot Fuzz started behaving like Area X in Annihilation - a bit folk horror, a bit ghost story, a little post apocalyptic, and strapped into the back seat of a car rumbling through the English countryside. Sticky, suffusing, and now shortlisted for the Nero Book Awards, there's few other novels that completely encapsulate the sensation of an endless summer like this dreamy, hallucinogenic phantasmagoria.

You can get your hands on the I MISS SUMMER Bundle at deadinkbooks.com and deadinkbooks.com ONLY linked in our bio ✨ where you can also peruse every limited edition bundle available only until the 12th of December. Go go go go go go
