NYX in the HOUSE OF NIGHT out today!
Hey, out of nowhere, the first of two release days for me this week!If you're a fan of PC Cast and Kristin Cast's House of Night YA vampire series like I am, you don't want to miss this gorgeous new anthology of essays exploring aspects of the series.
Nyx in the House of Night: Mythology, Folklore, and Religion in the P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast Vampyre Series is a collection of writings by paranormal authors and experts in the field.
It's full of fascinating discussions that shed light on the series' complex world-building, plus some beautiful illustrations. My own essay touches on Kalona and his similarities to another fallen immortal I have some experience with (fictionally, I mean)--Lucifer himself.
I signed copies of Nyx in the House of Night at BookExpo a couple weeks ago, along with fellow YA authors Jana Oliver and Trinity Faegen. I also snagged a triple-signed copy just for you. See below for how to win.
But first, a little more about the book. Here's the full table of contents:
"Introduction: Nyx in the House of Night" --P. C. Cast
"Night in the House of Good and Evil: Nyx's portrayal in the HoN series" -- Karen Mahoney
"The Dangerous Dead: Vampire Mythology in the HoN series" -- John Edgar Browning
"By Their Marks You Shall Know Them" (on tattoos) -- Jana Oliver
"The Divine Cat" -- Ellen Steiber
"Reimagining 'Magic City': How the Casts Mythologize Tulsa” -- Amy H. Sturgis

"Freedom of Choice: Kalona, A-ya, and the Raven Mockers" -- Jeri Smith-Ready
"The Otherworld Is Greek to Me" -- Trinity Faegen

Who would I want to be? Zoey has too much love drama going on, Aphrodite is Aphrodite, Stevie Rae has some weird drama going on (lol), so I think I would go with Erin. She's there for Zoey, but she is also out of most of the drama (well, for now anyways)!
