She was seen browsing diverse authors in horror and new releases trending on booktok. The author was also seen skimming through the classics like Edgar Allen Poe and Bram Stoker. Fans believe that her next novel may have something to do with the recent appearance, due to something she mentioned in an interview with Authors Wiki.
In the recent interview, she shared about her upcoming debut novel, Sick Punt.
“I am working on a little project titled, ‘Sick Punt.’ This will be my debut novel and I couldn't be more excited about it. I can't say too much but there will be living dolls, bully boyfriends, and humiliation rituals.”

In recent years, dark stories have gained traction, sparking conversation and buzz around the taboo nature of morally grey characters. Readers are trending towards characters with a dark side, perhaps leading to what some say is a destigmatization of transregressive literature.
The author continues to resurface in the public eye, raising questions as to what we can expect from this emerging author and how the draw to darkness remains relevant in literature today.
