 Who are you? Hi, I’m Hailey Piper! I’m the author of horror novellas Benny Rose, the Cannibal King, An Invitation to Darkness, and The Possession of Natalie Glasgow. Your signature style: Horror stories with sincere tone, often queer characters, and as in real life, there’s always some kind of monster. Toot your own horn: My debut novel, The Verses of Aeg, releases in late 2020, so I’m pretty excited about that. Books read: Recently I’ve enjoyed Food Fright by Nico Bell and The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Ngih Vo. Movies watched: Recently I’ve watched The Girl With All The Gifts and The Dragon Dentist, and I liked both of them. Games and/or music played: I finished the Resident Evil 2 remake the other day, and I’ve been on a pretty strong Janelle Monae kick of late. Words written: I finished a short story last week, and revisions and editing are going strong on bigger projects. Future stuff: Two stories coming up soon are “Fitting Room for Two” in the anthology Not Just a Pretty Face and “Jormungandr’s Dance” on The Arcanist. Brain worms: There’s a species of squid where the female is a couple hundred times larger than the male. I think dimorphism is really interesting.

Benny Rose, the Cannibal King (Rewind or Die Book 3) by Hailey Piper Blackwood, Vermont has one legend to its name--Benny Rose, the Cannibal King. Every local kid knows him and tells his stories, especially on Halloween. When a new girl moves to town in the autumn of 1987, the legend inspires high school junior Desiree St. Fleur and her friends to pull a Benny Rose-themed prank. A few laughs and screams, and they'll have a Happy Halloween. But a vicious storm crashes into Blackwood and interrupts the festivities. Soon the girls find themselves trapped and hunted in a strange neighborhood where no one will help them. There's nothing made-up about Benny Rose this Halloween night. The truth is coming, and it's hungry. "Hailey Piper is a major new voice in the horror genre, and Benny Rose, the Cannibal King is the perfect place to start with her work. A short and magnificent shock to the system, this one has got everything: great characters, fantastic vintage horror vibes, and a terrifying urban legend at the center of it all. Keep an eye on Hailey's work; she is seriously going places." --Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rust Maidens   Comments are closed.
