What’s one of the best parts of being a writer? We asked Raidah Shah Idil, and her answer is haunting in the best way. 🖤

Raidah Shah Idil (raidahwrites), author of HOW TO FREE A JINN, shared one recent favorite that completely unsettled her (in a good way): BAT EATER AND OTHER NAMES FOR CORA ZENG by Kylie Lee Baker. It’s an adult horror novel rooted in real-world fears, with themes that feel eerily close to home.📔

Check out the full reel with Raidah to hear what drew her to this story and why it’s still living rent-free in her head. 🕰️
