Kali has been a good little demon, killing whoever Connie tells her to: criminals, strangers, lowlifes.
But when Kali falls for Connie’s boyfriend, she stops taking orders and starts taking over.
DEAR CONNIE is a wickedly sharp examination of that deadly line between a possessive relationship... and possession.
“Absolutely stunning, DEAR CONNIE will wrap phantom fingers around your throat and refuse to let go. As you gasp for air, you'll use your last breath to ask for more.”
— A.C. Hessenauer, author of Going to the Six
“I devoured Robin Becker's Dear Connie, a fast-paced horror story that masterfully mashes together body horror, possession, family saga, and criminal-enterprise thriller. Set against the lush backwoods of swampy Arkansas, Becker's story of killer-for-hire Connie and her brother Matt is engrossing and terrifying as both the siblings and readers discover the secrets of their tool in hits for hire: the ghostly Kali, who manages to make murder seem accidental. But beneath the murder and mayhem is a complex story about guilt, body autonomy, freedom, and connection, and the lengths people--and ghosts, too--are willing to go to feel seen, wanted, needed, and loved. At times riotously, darkly funny, at times terrifying and taut, Dear Connie has something for every reader who is a fan of the fearsome and the fantastic. ”
