IG Live | A Conversation with Ellery Adams
I had the pleasure of sitting down on Instagram Live with NYT bestselling author Ellery Adams this afternoon to talk about her brand new book Invasive Species It was a conversation you don’t want to miss.
The story is set in Cold Harbor, a sleepy small town that’s seen its share of monsters in the form of cheating husbands and leering bosses. But nothing quite like Mrs. Smith, the mysterious woman who’s finally emerged from her crumbling mansion on the hill. Her secret? She needs nine human sacrifices to maintain her immortality.
Meanwhile, Natalie Scott is laser-focused on closing her first real estate sale. It’s the one that will finally take her from stay-at-home mom to working woman all while navigating the suffocating social expectations of 1980s suburbia. But it’s Natalie’s twelve-year-old daughter Jill and her Icelandic housekeeper Una who sense something is really wrong. Armed with library books and a whole lot of grit, the two team up to save the town and face the bigger question lurking underneath it all: what does it really mean to be a monster?
This is a genre-blending novel that weaves together Greek legend, Icelandic folklore, and the everyday horrors of patriarchal expectations. Ellery and I had a great conversation about all of it. She’s a fantastic guest and this book is unlike anything else out there right now.
Invasive Species hit shelves April 14th. Catch the replay on Instagram here.
