Haunted by a suburban witch-hunt

5/19/2025

0 Comments

 
"I refuse to fall for the trap because they might catch me, these suburban witch-hunters. I have nightmares of them illuminated by a full moon, with their modern-day pitchforks of cell phones to record evidence of their preconceptions that are planted, propagated, and then confirmed by therapists and religious leaders alike. They winch me up to hang from one of their swing sets, the noose tightening around my throat as my legs thrash for life. How they will laugh and jeer and point, celebrating the exorcism of the Witch of Mount Pelion Way. How the neighbors will rejoice, and the street will be decorated with floral garlands of victory and brocades of joy woven into the finest gold and silver."

Dwelling in a liminal space

4/29/2025

0 Comments

 
Ania is trapped in a strange but familiar place. A cabin in the woods, an abandoned space, a place where life should thrive, but everywhere she looks she finds stagnated or distorted growth. It’s as if there is not enough air to breathe, so she is slowly poisoning herself on her own vapors.

Will she ever see her family again?

Malevolent Fairy is out now.

Haunted by misogyny

3/26/2025

0 Comments

 
“No one sees me,” Ania once said, “because I exist only in the form that they created for me. An object, an obstacle, a memory or a longing, it doesn’t matter how many different versions they create of me, it still amounts to an existence in someone else’s story.”

Hasn’t it always been that way? The voice was familiar and timeless. If we exist in any other form, they’ll surely cut us down, fold us up, or store us somewhere until they need us for their own purposes.

Ania didn’t want to see it. She couldn’t believe that the world was haunted by such misogyny. But even if she blinded herself to it, that malevolent truth would find her eventually.
 
Malevolent Fairy, the third part of the Tangled Knot trilogy, is available June 3, 2025.

Haunted by greed

3/25/2025

0 Comments

 
​We make up tales of ghosts and ghouls with and without heads, and hooks for hands and fangs for teeth, as if these fantastical beasts were really a threat to us. All the while, a greater horror story is revealing itself: It tells us about our own kith and kin, and the greed that unites us. It is our greed that has led us to a toxic torture chamber of glossy green, manicured lawns that we insisted upon, even though it meant that we had to accept the cancerous cells that now distort us from within.
 
Dylan thought they could escape the toxicity by fleeing the suburbs of New Jersey, but the contamination follows them across the Atlantic to London. Just when Dylan thinks that they will succumb to the poison, a greater danger reveals itself; the kind of danger that will require a whole rainbow of warriors to defeat it.
 
Rainbow Warrior is the sequel to Tangled Knot, and both novels are available now.

Want to know a secret? I have the blurb for Malevolent Fairy, my new psychological horror.

Would you like to read it?

Here it is...

We Used to Live Here meets Lovely Bones in this tragic tale about a girl who is held against her will as she faces the greatest horror; a haunting by misogyny and all of its accomplices.
 
WHEN ANIA WAKES UP IN A CAMP FOR TROUBLED SOULS, she has no memory of how she got there, and yet the people who surround her seem familiar. As if that wasn’t strange enough, the camp has been set up in an abandoned and derelict place.

Faced with violence from the outset, Ania tries to return home to the safety of her family, but her every effort to escape is met by a new obstacle, not least her reluctance to engage in conflict after years spent in the shadows of a wrathful mother and battle-lustful brother. A familiar voice whispers in her ear, suggesting that others are using her people-pleasing ways to manipulate her, but Ania isn’t sure if this voice is trying to help or keep her reduced to the shape of their will.

When one of the other campers goes missing, Ania fears that she is being stalked by a malevolent spirit. The forest groans, threatening to unleash something that is certain to overwhelm her if she dares to open her eyes to it. And another thing troubles her. As horrors grow and her story unfolds, she begins to question if the dangers really are out there, or if she is trapped inside the labyrinth of her mind.

Malevolent Fairy: The Tale of Ania, A Troubled Soul, is available June 3, 2025.

Grief lingers, as much as love

3/11/2025

0 Comments

 
Grief lingers as much as love, so why is one feared and the other revered? Why does one attract suspicion, or even a clinical diagnosis (if it lingers for too long), while the other permits all manner of expression, in poetry and song penned as freely as judgement is imposed on prolonged grief.

Eris knows why. She has seen how this false dichotomy can be wielded as a weapon or a shield against people who are misunderstood. She has been the witch-hunted scapegoat and cast out of a community that never wanted her in the first place. But she won’t let that distract her from the truth about what happened to her daughter. So you will see that Tangled Knot, the first of a trilogy, is a tale of grief but also vengeance.

Written by queer author BB Clifford, Tangled Knot is available now.

How are you haunted?

3/3/2025

Strange days are upon us, so tell me: How are you haunted by all of this? I know many of you are grieving for a life you once knew, and you are enraged by the greed of others, and the misogyny.
We need tales to redress the balance; we need tales of wrath and vengeance.

The Tangled Knot trilogy follows the Brown family as different members navigate their way through a haunted land:

Tangled Knot is the story of Eris of suburbia, a tale haunted by grief.
Tangled Knot is out now.

Rainbow Warrior is the story of Ares, Eris' battle-lustful son; a tale haunted by greed.
Rainbow Warrior is out now.

Malevolent Fairy is the story of Ania, Eris' daughter; a tale haunted by misogyny.
Malevolent Fairy is out later this year.
