Reader Reviews and Book Tour
The last few months have been an absolute whirlwind as I hit the road for the Pocket Full of Teeth book tour — and I couldn’t be more grateful for every moment. From cozy corner bookstores to buzzing festival halls, I’ve been welcomed into so many amazing literary communities that have truly brought my novel to life.
A huge thank you to the indie bookstores that hosted my readings and signings. Thank You Books in Birmingham, Birch Tree Books in Dallas, Snail on the Wall in Huntsville, Sweet Home Books in Tuscaloosa, and Shelf Life Books in Richmond — you all went above and beyond to make me feel at home. Every shop had its own unique magic, and meeting readers face-to-face in these special spaces reminded me why indie bookstores truly matter. Supporting small and independent stores keeps our literary culture vibrant, and I’m forever grateful for their passion and dedication.
I’ve also had a great time getting to know some great content creators. Before Pocket Full of Teeth was published, I loved being part of the reading and writing community on Instagram, and I’ve been blown away by the support of content creators. They’ve all had such kind words to say and have really given me the encouragement to keep going. Check out Jessica’s blog below where she reviews my book!
Pocket Full of Teeth – Aimee Hardy
One of my favorite stops on this tour was attending Horror Reader Weekend. I attended in NY in the fall and Fredericksburg, VA this past spring. The energy was incredible — readers, writers, and fellow fans of all things dark and eerie gathered to share spooky stories and celebrate our favorite genre. I also had the honor of leading a panel, “What’s Next in Horror,” where we talked trends, new voices, and where we see the genre going in the years ahead. It was an amazing conversation, one that left me even more excited to see what surprises horror has in store for us.
The entire experience — from chatting with readers about Pocket Full of Teeth to diving into deep, nerdy discussions about ghosts, gore, and Gothic traditions — was unforgettable. Thank you to everyone who came to a reading, attended a signing, or joined our Horror Reader Weekend panel. And thank you again to the wonderful indie shops that champion small-press and genre fiction. I left each event with a heart full of stories and a suitcase heavy with new books.
Here’s to the next chapter — and I hope to see you all again very soon!
