Hazelthorn Special Edition?!! you are NOT ready for how stunning this is!!
author updates and general forest rot, from c.g. drews
My secret news is OFFICIALLY OUT. Hazelthorn is getting a Barnes & Noble exclusive edition!! The way I am laying on my moss strewn floor in happiness over this is unparalleled tbh. This was a huge dream of mine and I had no idea if it would happen or not, so it was a total pinch-me moment when I got the email.
Don’t Let The Forest In was lucky enough to have a B&N exclusive edition thanks to being their book club pick, and let me just say it sold out like only 2 months after release (that was wild). So the fact Hazelthorn is getting this edition is all thanks to YOU for supporting my books!! It wouldn’t be happening otherwise.
Anyway, want to see?!?!
Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition
Exclusive features include…
Red sprayed edges (so bloody so nice so fitting)
Exclusive endpages of the Hazelthorn mansion
Bonus content of an annotated chapter (with my pithy commentary heh)
Unique case colour
You can preorder this little guy right here and this edition is only available at B&N.
Also if you’d like to read it early, it’s up on Netgalley US for request. Physical ARCs will probably be happening a lot closer to release date, because it’s still, ya know, like 215 days until release. But I feel like if we fight the calendar together then time will go faster.
We also are nearly at 6,000 adds on Goodreads which is super exciting, so please add it if you want to!! Any early hype means so much for this feral queer autistic book.
Hazelthorn is my YA garden gothic horror about an orphan teen who inherits a crumbling gothic estate with a carnivorous garden and must team up with the boy he hates to solve a murder mystery before the garden demands to be fed. Out October 28, 2025 from Feiwel & Friends.
Find it at…
Barnes & Noble, Amazon US, Amazon AUS, Bookshop, Books-A-Million, Blackwells (ships intl for free), Waterstones, and Macmillan. Don’t forget to add it on Goodreads!
More info about the UK edition will be coming soon but it’s set to release October 30th!!
Evander doesn’t understand Laurie, doesn’t understand his wicked smiles and his silver tongue and his lazy entitlement. But worse is the way Evander has forgotten to be scared, standing here in the garden with the boy who once tried to kill him and has twice as much reason to try again. At any second, Laurie could crush his fingers around the arch of Evander’s slender throat.
Evander almost wants it to happen. This time, he’ll bite back.
Anyway, I’ll just be over here exploding into a pile of leaves.
I’m obsessed with this edition and freaking IN LOVE with the end pages. So ready for us all to crawl out of our skin and into the garden come October.
