A Shirley Jackson Award Nomination

Dead Girl, Driving and Other Devastations is a 2024 Shirley Jackson Award nominee in the category of Single-Author Collection! I want to thank Angela Slatter for her wisdom and guidance in putting this collection together, Julie C. Day for an incredible introduction, and Scarlett R. Algee at Trepidatio Publishing for giving this project a home. I also want to thank the jury for seeing promise in this book. It’s truly an honor.

“Carina Bissett’s collection is a thing of wonder and beauty. It is a true representation of Carina herself: whimsical, visceral, lovely, and fierce. You can hear women’s voices screaming while roses fall from their lips. Dead Girl, Driving and Other Devastations is a triumph.”

Mercedes M. Yardley, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Little Dead Red

Dead Girl, Driving and Other Devastations is available for purchase at Trepidatio Publishing and at Amazon .

“From fairy tale revisions to fresh takes on monstrous transitions and the absolute horrors of being female, no one knows how to write a story like Carina Bissett. Fierce yet fragile.”

—Lindy Ryan, author of Bless Your Heart
