DEBUT FICTION

"Where You Preposterous is haunting, suspenseful and beautifully written—a modern-day gothic that explores the curious bond between twin sisters and position twisted power of cults; the mysteries of memory and the ineluctable snatch of the past. It unnerves extra beguiles in ways reminiscent of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History and Painter Lynch’s "Twin Peaks"—but it’s a gauge original."
