After getting an invitation to cover the ceremonial rites of an unknown tribe, the Winoquin, Ezra Montbanc believes he’s hit the jackpot. The Winoquin reside in the unforgiving, inhospitable Arctic region, but this is a shot at the kind of career Ezra’s dreamed about. This is also a chance to forge a path from exploiting Indigenous tribes with his filmmaking partner.
After Ezra and crew depart to the home of the Winoquin, they find themselves locked in a bloody battle at an inaccessible glacier ritual site. There, men and mythical horrors hunger for sacrifice.
Why we’re excited about this book:
Readers will soon have the words of Jacy Morris whispering nightmares in their heads. The author of the This Rotten World series, the The One Night Stand at the end of the World series, Killing the Cult, and The Pied Piper of Hamelin among others, Morris’ short fiction is collected in Bury My Heart With a Keyboard. With this upcoming novella, Jacy Morris unleashes frozen hell with one of the most anticipated titles of the year. Carlos E. Rivera (the White Harbor trilogy) calls We Like it Cherry “Blood-soaked and brutal. A nuanced story of tradition vs. survival; spirituality vs. modern world; and communal tribe vs. chosen tribe.”, and Tim McGregor (Eynhallow) says the book is “A harrowing tale of identity and redemption through violence. Wicked!” Laurel Hightower (The Day of the Door) says: “Darkly atmospheric. A story of love and humanity as much as it is horror and the supernatural. Bloody, frozen and full of heart.”
Releasing from Tenebrous Press 5 August 2025, We Like it Cherry by Jacy Morris is available for pre-order now.
