Welcome to Litsy!

What an exciting read! I loved getting a Pakistani POV on djinn in the modern world and the notion that everyone has a djinn story. Wahid's bumbling was a terrific way to provide that insight, and the host of supporting characters were in turns delightful and terrifying. As the first book in a duology, it leaves you on a cliffhanger, and I, for one, can't wait to continue the adventure. #booktober #supernaturalbeings

'Tis the season for good beers and lazy nights. I hereby proclaim that 4 Hands Absence of Light holds medicinal purposes so I can beat this bug and do some proper Halloweening this weekend. Not a bad pair with a djinn book. #booksandbrews

Oh hey! Want to get a taste of Fire Boy? The book features djinn tales between chapters, and Mahvesh Murad read Interlude C for this week's Midnight in Karachi! (She's how I found out about the book in the first place.) Here's your 8 minute spooky story for the night: http://tinyurl.com/hhvwnob

Is it cool if I recommend a book I'm currently reading? Yes? Cool. Because I am already in love with Fire Boy, a novel about a Pakistani boy who can see djinn. It's funny and dangerous and totally doable after Bird Box scared me off more outright horror for the remainder of the month. After reading about possessions and attacks at lunch, I'm glad I wore my hamsa shirt. #recommendsday

Read this initially as "her voice the deep roar of a disco inferno." I'd like to go back to bed now please.

Djinns feature in this YA fantasy set in Pakistan. The perfect Halloween read. #ownvoicesoctober #booktober #samishah #lilbookishoctober
