Pretty Girls Don't Do Murder

By: Cisco, T. Aaron

Pretty Girls Don't Do Murder by T. Aaron Cisco is a genre-defying masterpiece that fuses Afrofuturism, science fiction, historical fiction, and dark fantasy into an unforgettable tale of power, survival, and identity. Perfect for readers who love visceral, thought-provoking stories like Kindred by Octavia Butler, The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin, and Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff, this novel is a bold exploration of the monsters within and the systems that create them.

At its heart are three gripping, interconnected narratives led by unrelentingly strong women:

Onyx: A survivor transformed by a sinister, targeted virus designed to eradicate entire ethnic groups. Haunted by literal and metaphorical monsters, Onyx's journey is a fierce battle for control of her body, mind, and humanity in a world engineered to destroy her.Dallas: A sharp-shooting markswoman in early 1900s America, betrayed by a salacious gambler and seeking justice through fire and fury. Her story unfolds in raw, emotional letters to her beloved aunt, proving forgotten legacies can still ignite change.Dextra Mortis: The fabled figure of a Medieval Epic Poem, Dextra rises from ignoble birth to challenge the boundaries of life, death, and human commodification, offering readers a harrowing reflection on the price of existence and the fight for freedom.

As these narratives converge, Pretty Girls Don't Do Murder shatters traditional boundaries to create a gripping, thought-provoking tale that lingers long after the final page. This is a must-read for lovers of complex, strong female protagonists, socially resonant themes, and richly woven storytelling that bends, blends, and breaks genre conventions...
