Read an excerpt from Incarnate

I have a treat for you, dear newsletter subscribers: a first look at the prologue of INCARNATE! Click on the link below to read:

Dorothy Wagner has spent her whole life wanting nothing more than to be seen. But after failing to make her mark as an influencer, she takes a job working for a brilliant coder whose company is focused on cutting-edge deepfake technology. And there, in secret, is where she creates her salvation.

Isabella. An impossibly gorgeous girl who takes social media by storm. Dorothy’s artistry is brilliant, and Isabella seems so real that she garners millions of followers. But everybody knows overnight success doesn’t just happen. And when someone gets a little too close to the truth, a violent confrontation sends Dorothy on the run, forcing her to confront what she’s willing to sacrifice to keep her secrets.

A modern reimagining of a classic tale, Alma Katsu’s Incarnate is an illuminating, haunting tale of algorithmic worship and beauty that can kill.

ICYMI, I posted the following on Instagram about Incarnate and it got a great reaction. I won’t say viral because it wasn’t quite at that level, but the response was a pleasant surprise.

A gentle reminder to pre-order Incarnate.
