HOUSE OF HUNGER Cover Reveal
Hi Reader,
Those who keep an eye on my socials may know that BuzzFeed Books revealed the cover of House of Hunger in their newsletter last Sunday. As a long time admirer of the team behind BuzzFeed Books (I love their recommendations), this was extremely exciting and surreal. But for those that missed that reveal, I’m so excited to share the cover of my forthcoming novel House of Hunger, which will now release on September 27th, 2022!
Isn’t it gorgeous?!
Credit goes to the amazing artist/photographer Lillian Liu who brought my main character Marion to life, and the extraordinary Katie Anderson who designed this gorgeous cover (she’s the designer behind The Year of the Witching as well, and I’m perpetually in awe of her talent and artistry).
I’m in love with this cover. It’s lush, evocative, and so arresting. I love the intensity of the model’s gaze, and the way she’s fading into the background gives me strong Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” vibes. It’s almost like the House of Hunger is consuming her. Also…the blood. You have no idea how much time we spent tweaking the blood droplets to get them just right. I owe a huge thank you to the team (especially Katie and my editor Jessica Wade) for listening to my wild ideas and being so patient with me.
Now that the cover has been released, ARCS should be forthcoming! I strongly recommend keeping an eye on Netgalley and my socials, as I’ll announce information there as soon as I’m able to. And if you’d like a shiny, extra fancy, hardcover edition of House of Hunger shipped straight to your door on the day of its release (barring any supply shortages or shipping delays), I’d highly suggest you pre-order it now!
Thank you again for your continued support and enthusiasm for House of Hunger. I can’t wait to share it with all of you this fall. Stay tuned for more information regarding arcs, events, giveaways, and a few forays into the House of Hunger as we approach release day.
All the best,
Alexis
