About the Book:
Kali has been a good little demon, killing whoever Connie tells her to: criminals, strangers, lowlifes. But when Kali falls for Connie’s boyfriend, she stops taking orders and starts taking over. From author Robin Becker, DEAR CONNIE is a wickedly sharp examination of that deadly line between possessive relationship... and possession.
Special Interest:
Fans of atypical possession novels, twisting psychological thrillers, as well as movies like Obsession and Primal Fear, will NOT want to miss this one!
Reviews:
"A smart and sassy excursion into supernatural noir.... [Dear Connie] is good, gruesome fun."
— Publishers Weekly
"Dear Connie is a clever horror novel superbly written by Robin Becker that delves into ethics, love, murder, family, and self-examination through an intriguing use of second person point of view. And the ending is a chef’s kiss worthy of the best of The Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock Presents. I highly recommend this read."
— Allen Eskens
"Beneath the blood and black humor, Dear Connie is a thoughtful exploration of family, identity, choice and consequence, what we owe the people we love, and the dangerous bargains we make with the parts of ourselves we would kill to keep hidden. It's wickedly original and enormously entertaining."
— Megan Stockton, author of Bluejay and Lovely Dark and Deep
"Moody and dark, with a mix of humor and tragedy all wrapped up in a supernatural battle for bodily autonomy, DEAR CONNIE is as mercurial, tragic, and darkly humorous as its unearthly and vengeful narrator."
— S.G. Browne, author of Breathers and Lost Creatures
"Absolutely stunning, DEAR CONNIE will wrap phantom fingers around your throat and refuse to let go. As you gasp for air, you'll use your last breath to ask for more."
— A.C. Hessenauer, author of Going to the Six
"I devoured Robin Becker's Dear Connie, a fast-paced horror story that masterfully mashes together body horror, possession, family saga, and criminal-enterprise thriller. At times riotously, darkly funny, at times terrifying and taut, Dear Connie has something for every reader who is a fan of the fearsome and the fantastic."
— Joe Baumann, author of A Thing is Only Known When it is Gone
"Robin Becker’s Dear Connie is intimate, personal, and lucid—much like any nightmare that startles us awake. We follow Connie through all that haunts her, all that complicates her. This is a story about how we can embody, succumb to, and even become the monstrous. Like the entity that Connie carries, Becker’s propulsive prose settles in and holds tight."
— Carson Faust, author of If the Dead Belong Here
