Jamie is a thirty-year-old banker wedged between grief and newfound freedom. Through a domino cascade beyond her control, she winds up stuck in her suffocating hometown. The monotony is broken swiftly when, following a night of spite-fueled impulse, Jamie soon begins to undergo a rapid and gruesome transformation. She finds herself teetering on the edge of her own sanity as she pieces together if rescue will ever come for her. And if not, what is she going to do about it? Exploring themes of sexual empowerment, revenge, and loneliness, POCKETKNIFE KITTY asks the reader to explore exactly how far they’d go to save their own skin.

Shannon Riley (she/her) grew up writing gore starring her friends and family instead of doing math homework. She is the author of new revenge and body horror laden Pocketknife Kitty (Ghoulish Books, 2024). Additionally, her short fiction has been seen in the Dark Blooms: Girls' Coming-of-Age Horrors anthology, and in Ghoulish Tales, as well as various other places online.
