Bone broth cooling in the snow while I read Han Kang's deliriously beautiful haunting terrifying novel We Do Not Part.
From Terri Favro: ".. a novella and very long novel that were two of my top reads in 2025... female focused, full of rage, magic and weirdly mystical flowers. "Origins of Desire in Orchid Fens” by Lynn Hutchinson Lee, published by @stelliformpress Sensuous, poetic, violent and mysterious."
I love the deep humanity and horror of this story. What a combination.
March 3rd!
Oksana Marafioti on Nightshade, my forthcoming novel from Assembly Press: "Zelda’s desire to be seen—by wealth, by power—meets the fierce love and warning of Romany women who know the cost. This is a novel about work and hunger, inheritance and passing, and the thin veil between rescue and trap."
A stellar review of @undertow.bsky.social's Northern Nights. So many wonderfully terrifying stories. I was thrilled to be part of it. www.goodriverreview.com/post/the-lan...

This season calls for stories that haunt, unsettle, and linger. From eerie houses and ghostly futures to botanical horror and ecological grief, these books explore the strange beauty in what frightens us. www.stelliform.press

Orchid in The Seaboard Review of Books, Monday, October 20th. @stelliform.press
The Seaboard Review of Books just published Lisa Timpf's review of Origins of Desire in Orchid Fens. "..... this book skilfully blends the real and the fantastic, spending some time in the borderline between the two." www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/origins-of...
Picture of the panelists from my perspective as someone sitting on the floor to the side. Felt like we were going to camp together, or a slumber party. Lydia M. Hawke is speaking, Christy Climenhage has her chin tilted up and is looking like she is contemplating inspiring things, and Lynn Hutchinson Lee is looking down with a secretive smile. They are all clearly up to something. Watch out.
