Description
WINNER of the 2023 Writers NL Pitch Wars Award!
It's 1931 in Kansas, and twenty-three-year-old Jamie Foster is in desperate need of employment. Recklessly, she secures a job as an executioner, but quickly discovers the trauma that comes with it.
Through this job she meets Eleanor Collins, a woman fleeing her hometown, and the two form a deep connection -- one that Jamie does not entirely understand.
Things take a dark turn when Jamie's guilt manifests as the ghostlike forms of the people she has executed. The world around her is growing increasingly unsettling, and it only gets worse when an unsettling figure from Eleanor's past follows her to Kansas. Left with nowhere to hide and nobody but each other, the two form a desperate plan to escape.
Cover My Eyes is an own-voices thrilling historical romance novella from one of the bright sparks of this province's literary tradition!
