The Writing Retreat



 Andrea Bartz's sister Julia has a book out too, that is also a thriller. It's her debut novel!

The dark, atmospheric, feminist offspring of Squid Game, The Hunting Party and Misery

A book deal to die for.


Five attendees are selected for a month-long writing retreat at the remote estate of Roza Vallo, the controversial high priestess of feminist horror. Alex, a struggling writer, is thrilled.

Upon arrival, they discover they must complete an entire novel from scratch, and the best one will receive a seven-figure publishing deal. Alex’s long-extinguished dream now seems within reach.

But then the women begin to die.

Trapped, terrified yet still desperately writing, it is clear there is more than a publishing deal at stake at Blackbriar Estate. Alex must confront her own demons – and finish her novel – to save herself.

A novel about feminist horror writers. Can it get any more intriguing? Well, it's a book you'll just have to take a chance on this summer. It might carry you right into fall.

  1. Sounds fabulous. I've had my eye on this one already. This and another one- The Retreat by Sarah Pearse. But love the premise of this. Talk about writing pressure ha ha :)
