“the bizarre disappearance of bella riley is genuinely terrifying, a beautifully written story that is as much about identity as it is about an eerie small town. luna rey hall skillfully blends horror with commentary on our true crime obsessed culture and volatile political moment. I read the whole book with a chill running down my spine!”
E.K. Sathue, author of youthjuice

“Authentically haunted [and] at home with Ghostwatch and Harvest Brood.”
TT Madden, author of The Cosmic Color

“Is one’s nightmare destined to be fodder for the viral content machine? the bizarre disappearance of bella riley is a captivating reflection on the increasingly loud tenor of transphobia that’s inventively examined through the warped archive of clickbait. luna rey hall poignantly interrogates how gendered violence gets marketed through this unforgettable, intertextual take on the novella.”
CD Eskilson, author of Scream/Queen

“Strange, quasi-psychedelic sensory horror; [that] lands in a simultaneously ethereal and visceral (as contradictory as that may sound), ambiguous yet immediate space that I associate with film and other audiovisual media, especially pieces like Skinamarink and some of the most skilled analog horror series.”
Briar Ripley Page, author of Lupus in Fabula

“Timely and trippy, the bizarre disappearance of bella riley is a clever work of epistolatory fiction. Stark prose expertly frames a true-crime narrative with legs, teeth, and one hell of an ending.”
Drew Huff, author of The Divine Flesh

“the bizarre disappearance of bella riley pulls you in from page one. Riddled with intricate detail, it invites you to search for answers like treasure and rewards you with a living, breathing story that you get to feel involved in. Categorically written for the modern audience in an eerily familiar digital format, but with a timeless knack for mystery, dread, and great unknowable horrors, this is one to devour breathlessly over one sleepless night.” 
Alex Woodroe, author of Whisperwood
