Skyla Arndt has always loved the creepy, crawly side of life. When she was younger, she thought that love might translate to hunting Bigfoot, but luckily for him, writing proved easier. Her debut novel, Together We Rot, is a YA horror about two estranged best friends who need to team up to confront an ancient evil in their neighboring woods.

Inheritance of Scars (2024)
Crystal Seitz
"Inheritance of Scars is sure to leave its mark on you! This debut is as deeply romantic as it is hauntingly atmospheric. Seitz has intricately woven together dual timelines to craft a tale spanning multiple generations. Readers will find themselves transported into the lush, wintry village of Unden where the small town is just as bloodthirsty and secretive as the monstrous forest surrounding it. And remember, no matter what you do, the blood oath must not be broken."
