Pre-Order: The Pythonist Special Edition Hardback (USA Preorder Now, Pay Postage Later)

** THIS LISTING IS FOR USA CUSTOMERS ONLY. ** If you're based in the US or Canada, you can use this link to check-out and only pay for the cost of preordering the book right now. This secures your copy and helps to cover the upfront expenses of ordering in the shipment of books, but you will then be required to pay the shipping costs later this year once the books have arrived. After October, your postage will be calculated based on the current prices and any applicable tariffs, and you will be invoiced accordingly. Please note that there is no guarantee that prices won't have increased between now and then, and we also don't know what the tariffs may look like. Your book will be sent once the shipping invoice is paid. Refunds cannot be offered if you change your mind. Books will be held for up to three months after your invoice is sent, but after that, unless otherwise agreed, the order will be considered forfeit, and your book may be returned to the website for sale. Please note that if you're in the US or Canada and you'd like to check out using the original preorder link and pay shipping now, you are more than welcome to do so. PayPal and AfterPay are also available. The postage costs charged to you at check-out now will be honoured when it's time to send your book to you, regardless of any price increases. This listing has been created specifically for those who have asked for it. *** The website-exclusive special edition of The Pythonist is designed with sprayed edges, gold foiling, and a lovely maroon ribbon mark. It also features gorgeous character artwork inside the book, designed by extremely talented, real human artists. The Pythonist does not release until October 13th, 2026. These books are expected to arrive in late September or early October. If you'd like to preorder a copy for Celestial Events in Melbourne or Readers Unleashed in Cairns, please do this through Beventi instead: Loren Little | Author. Your copies will then be available to pick up on the day of the event. All other orders will begin shipping in November. *** BLURB The Damned I made a bargain with a daemon when I was a child. For the last twelve years, I never saw any reason to crave my freedom from Kingsley Manor and the dark, lost entities who inhabit the lonely estate. But then he came back for me—like he promised he would when we were children. He doesn’t remember that I’ll die if I leave Kingsley Manor. And they’ll kill him if he stays. The Dreamer I was told to burn Kingsley Manor to the ground. They want me to get rid of the melancholy girl occupying the estate and hosting strange guests who scream in their sleep, but I can’t. Not when something inexplicably draws me to her—when I watch her and I can’t look away. She thinks her ghosts and daemons will scare me, but she’s wrong. I possess her now.
