A Cover to Slay For!

Are we ready to party?

Our upcoming sapphic horror novella is ready to fill all your snowed-in dreams with some good old slashery feels! This remote-location, new adult horror marks the debut release of our new author, Petra Pine, a writer from Zagreb, Croatia.

Petra writes everything from speculative fiction to romantic comedies but her most beloved genre is horror, especially a mix of slashers and dark comedy focused on queer experience. She also likes to watch cringe horror movies, make overly hard quizzes for Croatian fandom conventions, embroider on everything she can get her hands on and read dark academia books. You can find her on IG or Bluesky at @obsessedmuch24 where she talks about books, writing and everything fandom related.

And now the cover—one more success from our continuous collab with the ingenious illustrator Antonio Filipović – Athan —which portrays our brief well: pink, pink, PINK!

A close-up, cropped night-time illustration of a young woman with bi-colored hair and a loose white shirt with the title "A Night to Slay For" written across it in bright, powerful pink, with the author name Petra Pine underneath it in white.

If you’re ready to take a trip with us to the isolated, snow-covered forest in Lika, Croatia, in our main characters’ small red Clio, you’re gonna have to wait juuuust a little while longer—the novella releases this February 27th!

Pre-order the ebook on Amazon, Kobo and everywhere else and don’t forget to add it to your StoryGraph and Goodreads TBR. Paperback info coming soon.

Read on for the blurb!

New Year’s bucket list: party hard, slay harder!

The luxurious, surprisingly affordable party cabin in the isolated, scenic Croatian countryside was all Irma and her friends had hoped for—jacuzzi and no close neighbors included. The recent grads have packed their car chock-full of good music, better booze, and plenty of brownies to guarantee a New Year’s to remember.

The arrival of a second car packed with girls ready to prove their own claim on the cabin seems like a recipe for disaster—until they realize the other group is as hyped-up for New Year’s as they are, upping Irma’s chances of getting her midnight kiss. For once in her chronically-single life, everything seems to be going well… until the snow outside starts piling up through the night, and her friends’ bodies soon follow suit.

In the blink of an eye, Irma’s New Year’s dream turns into a New Year’s nightmare. Will she live to see another (new) year?
