Yay! Gigi it is! That is a great name - it's got that combination of cute, cuddly, comforting and all that, but if you then put that in a horror/uncanny type of scenario (obviously a la Child's Play) then this dissonance just enhances the creepiness.
I will have to check out City Owl Press - as I think I mentioned I'm embarking on my own submission trip, although it's been on hold for some time because I've realised I need to rewrite my opening. Seems it's all about snagging the right hook these days.
And thank you for my comp!
Also really pleased you're re-releasing Dark as Dawn, because that really was super. And it deserves some great illustrations.
Garen, thank you so much for the shoutout! And this is a great list, will be checking out these titles!
Thank you for adding a story of mine! I appreciate it!
Thank you for the mention. You made my day 💕
