Magic was the answer. The dream of it, the hope. Life eternal. Knowledge unbound. It drove men to build portals and to hurl themselves through doors that should remain forever closed. What wouldn’t they all do for the promise of more? ✨ DEAD BEAT On September 15th I'm taking you back to New Haven one last time. DEAD BEAT preorder links in my bio! Jacket Design by @laywan_kwan Illustration by @christinamrozikart Animation by Leonard Hospidor at Solo Recording Music is Carrion Flowers by @cchelseawwolfe (on heavy rotation while I wrote and revised this book) (Please note: There will be no ARCs for Dead Beat. This is the final chapter in Alex Stern's story and I don't want anyone getting hit with spoilers.) #AlexStern #NinthHouse #DeadBeat #LeighBardugo #HellsComingWithMe Hell is empty and all the devils are here… Alex Stern made it to hell and back more than once, but this time she left the door open behind her. Demons are creeping through the streets of New Haven and the Yale campus, feeding on the souls of the living, terrifying the dead. Alex and her allies can hunt them, but it’s only a matter of time before the gates to the underworld open and they face a war they cannot win. To stop it, they’ll have to reach deep into the secrets of Yale and its societies, and discover the truth hidden in Alex’s own blood. While she struggles to hold onto the dream of a future Yale once offered, Alex must contend with the machinations of a corrupt Lethe Board and a deadly vampire with his own connection to the societies. But for the first time in her life, she won’t have to face the fight alone. Dawes, Turner, Mercy, and even Tripp will have a role to play, none more so than Alex’s mentor Darlington, the golden boy who lived so long in her head, now back in the flesh and cursed with dangerous powers of his own. Hell itself is stalking the delegates of Lethe House, and they’re all about to learn that demons don’t play by human rules. 25 Feb 2026 The job of the artist is not to skip to the good part. Link to my full TEDx talk "The Art of Discomfort" in my bio.

"Art works in disruption," Bardugo said. "Art works in ... here's this group of friends who live in this one part of the city, and all of their styles are influencing each other. And then one of them gets a big show, and then people write op eds about how terrible it was. But people go to see it, and then culture shifts, right? Culture shifts. We're missing those shifts now. Now culture is just gently moving along. It's like a nice warm bath to sink into. I don't want a warm bath. I want cold, bracing water. I want to feel something exciting and interesting."

Dark academia fans, this series is for you! 🦉 07 Oct 2026 I'm sick of me so here's Fred 🖤 05 Oct 2026 Leigh Bardugo calls her hit debut young adult novel "Shadow and Bone" a "lifeline" that helped her out of a decade-long depression. Bardugo told Jenna Bush Hager on the Open Book with Jenna podcast that she "was very lost at the time. I was in a very scary relationship. I had really isolated myself, just out of deep shame, from my friends, from my family." She also says there were parallels between her real life and the hit novel. "Writing 'Shadow and Bone,” which is ironically, about a girl finding her way through the physical and literal darkness, became this lifeline, not just because financially, it allowed me to get out. But also because it reminded me I was good at something."

In 2019, she made her adult debut with “Ninth House,” the first book in a trilogy that unfolds among the secret societies of Yale. At the time of its publication, a graphic assault scene in “Ninth House” sparked a discussion about content warnings. Some readers said they were shocked and disturbed by the scene and that there should have been a warning before reading. On the Open Book with Jenna podcast, Bardugo reflected on the discussion around content warnings on books. Bardugo said while there’s “an argument to be made” for content warnings, she noted that calls for them tend to be loudest for books written by women who previously wrote books for kids. She also said if content warnings are expected, they need to be in every book, “and I’m not interested in being the test case.” Bardugo and Jenna also talked about how a good place to raise difficult and uncomfortable topics, “because you’re safe when you’re doing it.” “(Books) can lead to conversation," Bardugo said. "They can lead to difficult thoughts that we have about things we’ve been through, things that we’re going through with other people, things that our friends have been through, that maybe we don’t know how to speak to them about. That kind of connection exists in these places of discomfort."
