Bad Apple is a dark, surreal ride that proves not all things in an orchard are safe to pick.
After an unfortunate incident on a Maine apple orchard, precocious teen Scree is left with a father she’s not sure is hers, a never-ending list of chores and her flaky brother’s baby, who she is expected to raise.
In a noble move to save the child from an existence like her own, Scree flees to a glitzy resort teeming with young men just ripe for the picking. But even as life with baby becomes all she’d dreamed, Dali-esque visions begin to leach through the gold paint…
If you love deeply twisted psychological horror thrillers, like The Shining and young adult psychological thrillers TV shows like Stranger Things, you’re sure to love Bad Apple by New England horror and paranormal fiction author Kristi Petersen Schoonover.
Bad Apple is a supernatural horror tale that is sure to haunt you long after the last page is turned.
BUY BAD APPLE & TAKE A BITE OUT OF YOUTH CAREGIVING
(from Kristi's website):
"From the AACY website: Caregiving youth are children and adolescents who look after someone in their family who has an illness, a disability, frailty from aging, a mental health problem or a substance misuse problem. They take on practical and/or emotional caring responsibilities that normally would be the role of an adult…In addition, many caregiving youth also have responsibilities for younger brothers and sisters and all or most of the household chores.
I was a childhood caregiver, as were my siblings. It is a hell like no other, and its damaging mental and emotional effects can often limit or thwart a productive, healthy adult life. In order to minimize that long-term damage, the AACY provides these caregiving youth with a myriad of services, including but not limited to respite, counseling, education, social activities, and tutoring. By providing such services and support, these children have a better shot at a balanced adulthood....
... For as long as Bad Apple is in print, I will donate 50% of my royalty checks to the AACY. In addition, $3/per every print copy I hand-sell myself (such as at a con or speaking engagement) will be donated to the AACY. The remaining monies will go right back into promotions to keep spreading the word, which won’t cover it all, of course, but it’ll help."
