This sapphic horror novella is ready to fill all your snowed-in dreams with some good old slashery feels.
by Petra Pine
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?

Praise for A Night to Slay For
“Thoroughly enjoyable sapphic horror, highly recommended for your scary-season reading. Definitely take this if you’re off for some debauchery in the woods.” K J Charles, author of The Magpie Lord
“A coctail of sexual frustration, drug-induced anxiety, and uninvited strangers that is sure to make you blackout drunk on panic and uncertainty.” Lea Katarina Gobec, author of The Last Witch of Lonjsko Polje
“Equally amusing and suspensful, A Night to Slay For is like doing shots in a jacuzzi: at first fun, cozy, and bubbly, and then things go wrong fast, and in all kinds of ways.” Igor Rendić, author of A Town Called River
“A paranoid, anxiety-inducing stranger danger extravaganza; hellishly fun and claustrophobic at the same time. It’ll make you second-guess until the very end.” Ivana Geček, author of Bye-Bye, Babaroga
“It’s short, it’s fun, it’s just a little bit gory – everything you need to binge it in a single day!” @books.with.paola
