Summary

In this sinister, slow-burn novel of supernatural suspense, a young woman gets her dream job working for a famous designer—and discovers the dark side of high-stakes fashion.
 
“Lilliam Rivera cuts the fashion industry to shreds in this horror-filled take on late-stage capitalism.”—CrimeReads


Fashion-obsessed Samara finally has the life she’s always dreamed of: A high-powered job with legendary designer Antonio Mota. A new home in sunny California, far away from those drab Jersey winters. And an intriguing love interest, Brandon, a wealthy investor in Mota’s fashion line.
 
But it’s not long before Samara’s dream life begins to turn into a living nightmare as Mota’s big fashion show approaches and the pressure on her turns crushing. Perhaps that’s why she begins hearing voices in her room at night—and seeing strange things that can’t be explained away by stress or anxiety or the number of drinks she’s been consuming.
 
And it may not be just Samara imagining things as her psyche unravels, because she soon discovers hints that her new city—and the House of Mota—may be built on a foundation of secrets and lies. Now Samara must uncover what hideous truths lurk in the shadows of this illusory world of glamour and beauty before those shadows claim her.

“A shimmering supernatural thriller that interrogates the world of fashion through a sharp, critical eye . . . I couldn’t put it down.”—Sarah Rose Etter, author of RIPE and The Book of X

Tiny Threads is a chilling and compelling tale of a young woman trying to find herself even as she’s desperate to shed her past. Beneath the novel’s irresistible world of fashion and style—and beyond the sinister, supernatural plot twists—lies a story of erasure and grief that won’t soon let you go. Lilliam Rivera’s work will haunt you.”—Edan Lepucki, New York Times bestselling author of California

“Ephemeral and haunting and layered in captivating prose, Tiny Threads is a modern Gothic jewel.

Tiny Threads is a hallucinatory, irresistible tale about the slow unraveling of generational trauma, the intersection of beauty and violence, and the monstrous power of reclamation. Vicious, terrifying, and glamorous, with a character so real I felt her pulse in my own throat . . . You won’t know whether you’re devouring this novel or it’s devouring you. Lilliam Rivera is a force.”—Katie Gutierrez, bestselling author of More Than You’ll Ever Know Expand reviews
