Despite what shallow, Gossip Girl-like impr ..read more

Here’s what she had to say about her book, her movie deal, and much more! **No Spoilers Here! Colleen: If you could describe your latest release, Lightlark in one word, what would it be? Alex Aster: I think I would describe it as (I hope) dazzling. I know that’s a strange word to say about your own book, but I really tried to have it be atmospheric and have that kind of aesthetic, even though it’s this deadly game. Hopefully, it’s d ..read more
