HEY HEY HEY!!!

IT’S KARIN SLAUGHTER’S NEWSLETTER!!!

THE ONE WHERE SHE LAMENTS THE LOST OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A #BOOKTOK SENSATION AND ALSO TELLS YOU ABOUT HER SUPER FABULOUS NEW WILL TRENT BOOK!! HURRAY!!!

START READING NOW

Hello Readers, it is I, your bff and favorite writer (as far as she knows) Karin Slaughter, here to say that if I’d made my Super Amazing #1 Victory Dance Videos just a couple of years later, I could’ve been a TikTok sensation. Or at least a mini-sensation. Or maybe been drafted by the Riverdance people to tour children’s schools in former Eastern Bloc countries. Alas, it was not meant to be, which is why I am here to tell you about my new book, AFTER THAT NIGHT, which goes on sale in the United States TODAY!  


HURRAY FOR TODAY!!!!


AFTER THAT NIGHT—well, that sounds intriguing. What’s it about?  

It’s about 400 pages, thank you for asking. It’s also about GBI detective Will Trent, his fiancé, Sara Linton, and the event that changed her life fifteen years ago. Oh, and Faith and Amanda are in it, too. The story is an intensely spine-chilling thriller hailed as “Irresistible” by The Mail on Sunday, and you know those folks don’t mess about. Most importantly, it features everyone’s favorite chihuahua, Betty. But don’t take my word for it. Here is what readers around the world are saying:


“Heart racing, heart breaking, heart-warming. A thriller full of life and character.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Karin Slaughter is a ride or die for me. Her craft is faultless.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Amazing, absolutely shocking and just everything I ask for from Karin Slaughter.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Will Trent is back with a bang 💣”⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

WOW, that’s amazing!!! Look at how many places AFTER THAT NIGHT has already hit the #1 spot! But you shouldn’t be the one to dance this time, why don’t you do a #BookTok Dance Challenge and make us do all the work?!?!

What a terrific idea, readers! Imagine what a dance video made by YOU, my most favorite person in the world, could accomplish! And perhaps you should post it to #BookTok with #AfterThatNight and show the entire planet that you are a person of discriminating taste and perfection who can also jam down to your favorite song, and we can all see my beautiful readers celebrating AFTER THAT NIGHT!


*There will be no prizes for this dance challenge video just the hilarity that will ensue when I repost them all to every social media account I have.

**Okay, maybe if someone posts a really cool dance video, I will send them an advance copy of the next book, which will also be a Will and Sara story, but it had better be a Kevin-Bacon-Breaking-the-Law-Dancing-in-a-Barn-level impressive dance.


Ok, I’m working on my #BookTok #AfterThatNight Dance Challenge video. But if I need to see you IRL to get my inspiration, where would I go to do that?

Good question, and while I will make no promises about inspiration, I will talk about the books and me and the other stuff I usually talk about, plus reveal everything my sister wrote in her diary when she was twelve years old.  You can find all of the details for my US book tour here:


So what happens when I get tired and/or sprain a toe from making all of these awesome #BookTok videos explaining through interpretive dance how much I love Will Trent and how much it will bother me if he and Sara don’t get married soon and how I’ll be utterly destroyed if Angie comes back into the picture…then whatta I do???

Listen, I’m no life coach. But when I get tired, I like to microwave some popcorn and binge watch TV. And if you’re into that, then boy have I got some good news for you!!! The TV show WILL TRENT is streaming on Hulu (or Disney+ if you are outside of the U.S.). So binge-on my beautiful readers, and get your Betty fix any time you need it!!! (Yes, I have met her, and yes, she is adorable.)


I guess that’s all, folks. Now go get you some AFTER THAT NIGHT and watch WILL TRENT or call your best friend and talk to her about how much you are looking forward to reading and watching and maybe she can help you with your #BookTok #AfterThatNight Dance Challenge video because nothing says love like trying not to laugh as you watch your friend humiliate herself for no monetary reward!!!  (Please, please, please, someone choose Prince’s, “When Doves Cry.” Don’t leave me standing alone in a world so cold.)


UNTIL THEN, READERS!!!


Oh, I see you are still reading this and perhaps looking for the unsubscribe because you don’t remember signing up for my newsletter back when you were footloose and fancy-free and now you have responsibilities and I get it we are all adults but hey, why don’t you take a little time for yourself and enjoy some AFTER THAT NIGHT? I am sure the kids won’t starve and the house will clean itself and your student loans will pay themselves off and also I am 100% certain you need a reward so why not treat yourself?
