Blood Letters

＂The multimedia approach to the book is effective at communicating the transformational effects of the war, to which no one is immune. Psychological and body horror given multiple forms, all of them scarring. ＂ -- Kirkus Reviews

When your entire family is caught up in a world war with flesh-eating fog and robotic monstrosities, the only question that matters is: what are you willing to do to survive?

Siblings Kris, Albany, and Millie each inhabit a different part of the war - special ops and cannon-fodder at the front and codeworks behind the line - which transforms and transmutes how they think of themselves and their allegiances. They dump everything they know?confessions and consolations alongside poems for fallen friends and battleground sketches - into letters.
