WRITING IN THE SHADOWS
Hey,
How are you doing? There is a lot to tell you in today's newsletter, so why don't I just dive right in?
My friend Kerrie Flanagan has a new book out, Hula Harry's Devilish Drinks: Sinful Sips from the Underworld.
I'd say this book is perfect for Christmas!
Reading this is a bad decision. Why not make it a double!
Welcome to Hula Harry’s, the hottest bar in Hell—where the drinks burn twice and the hangovers are legendary. This laugh-out-loud cocktail book delivers real, mixable recipes infused with dark humor, snark, and a splash of the underworld.
Inside, you’ll find the finest cocktails this side of eternal damnation, each crafted with flavor, attitude, and a questionable amount of fire.
Devilishly good drinks include:
• The Brimstone Mary – smoldering attitude included • The Dumpster Fire – exactly what it sounds like, but tastier • The Serpent’s Garden – temptation in a glass • The Eternal Yule – holiday cheer that may haunt you later
Perfect for fans of urban fantasy, supernatural humor, and anyone who likes their cocktails with personality.

Le Grande Mystérieux - The Case of the Cat with Wings
When a winged taxidermy cat arrives at Lord Fenwick’s home and plunges him into a deep, unnatural trance, his niece Charlotte Fenwick seeks out Silas Tredwell for help. Joined by the eccentric and disgraced stage magician Mystérieux, Silas and Charlotte follow the creature’s grim origin through London’s fog-soaked streets, drawn toward a mystery as grotesque as it is unfathomable.

Check out the screenshots below from some of our first videos we have put together. We will be going live (hopefully) by the end of January 2026. I am very excited about this particular project, even though I have no idea what I am doing, why I am doing it, or even how to do it. I hope you will come along and join the chaos when we hit publish.
That's it for this week. The Writing in the Shadows team wishes you a Merry Christmas and a relaxing holiday. We will be back on Thursday 1st of January 2026.
Best wishes,
Ken, Tom, and Brad
