The JAB team had a great time at the launch event for THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED at The Strand✨
@victormanibo.com and @claymcleod.bsky.social discussed the journey of pivoting into horror writing, weaving colonialism into the Gothic, and... sexy gravedigging (you'll have to read the book for this one)

Just want to say thanks to both Victor Manibo and The Strand Bookstore for letting me join in the fun tonight for the release of THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED, which hits shelves tomorrow. This lush gothic horror is gorgeous and grotesque and so good @erewhonbooks.bsky.social @strandbookstore.bsky.social
