Yuvashri Harish
“Kill Your Darlings made me laugh, cry, swoon, and hold my breath. It’s gothic and enchanting, unafraid to throw several punches and has twists I didn't see coming. It’ll break your heart again and again and stitch you back together—it’s utter perfection. Yuvashri Harish pulls off this ambitious debut and makes it look easy, and I want more.” —Jamison Shea, author of I Feed Her to the Beast
Thulasi is the perfect daughter: she’s responsible, she never breaks the rules, and she’s always willing to babysit her seven-year-old cousin. Even on Halloween night.
But the night takes a horrifying turn when a simple playdate leads to accidentally summoning a horde of monsters out of a book of horror tales, along with her small town’s most famous author, Addison Greer—Thulasi’s literary hero. Except Addison has a more sinister scheme planned for her miraculous return: revenge on the family that wronged her.
Drawn into a bloodthirsty bargain with Addison, Thulasi will have to team up with Sam, the super cute quarterback in her class, and the only other teen stuck with babysitting duty on Halloween. They only have until midnight to foil Addison’s plans—while keeping their seven-year-old charges safe—or her monsters will destroy their town and everyone they love.

“Eldest daughters, rejoice! Thulasi is the complex, fierce heroine we’ve been waiting for. Harish’s debut is a gory gauntlet that reminds us to be wary about meeting our heroes—and that the real horrors aren’t just the shadows lurking in the dark. They’re waiting in the light, ready and willing to hide the truth.” —Alex Brown, Locus Award finalist and author of Rest in Peaches and Damned If You Do
