Are you an author coming up against the monstrous death-god that is MARKETING?

Psychological thrillers are a horror-adjacent genre with a much larger audience base than horror. Are you interested in dipping your toes into the world of heightening tension, twisty turns, and titles with the word "girl" in them?
