The Wicker King is a psychological young adult thriller that follows two friends struggling as one spirals into madness.

"An eerie and mesmerizing thriller that questions the space where reality and perception overlap, The Wicker King is a spine-tingling read that will have you riveted." --Caleb Roerhrig, author of Last Seen Leaving and White Rabbit

Jack once saved August's life . . . now can August save him?

August is a misfit with a pyro streak and Jack is a golden boy on the varsity rugby team--but their intense friendship goes way back. Jack begins to see increasingly vivid hallucinations that take the form of an elaborate fantasy kingdom creeping into the edges of the real world. With their parents' unreliable behavior, August decides to help Jack the way he always has--on his own. He accepts the visions as reality, even when Jack leads them on a quest to fulfill a dark prophecy.

August and Jack alienate everyone around them as they struggle with their sanity, free falling into the surreal fantasy world that feels made for them. In the end, each one must choose his own truth.

Written in vivid micro-fiction with a stream-of-consciousness feel and multimedia elements, K. Ancrum's The Wicker King touches on themes of mental health and explores a codependent relationship fraught with tension, madness and love.

Shocked
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I'm really bougie when it comes to pillows. I've never spent less than $50 on a pillow. I'm a side sleeper and like firm support, but also want something soft. I almost ordered the really pricey pillows on Amazon, but was turned off by all the odor complaints. I needed something quick to at least hold me over until I could get exactly what I want, so I took a shot with this pillow with the plan of it being a temporary fix. However, this pillow turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. The first time I laid on it I was skeptical. It had support, but felt like it may have been too soft. It took a bit to get accustomed to, but by the second night I knew this is the pillow. No chemical odors, it's quality at a low cost. I figured this pillow would've been quickly replaced and put into the leg pillow rotation, but it is shockingly a really great pillow. It is not lumpy, stays way cooler than standard or shredded memory foam and is comfy. Hopefully it holds up for a long time. I've paid triple what these 2 pillows cost for a single pillow that isn't as good.

Favorite pillows
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
These pillows are amazing! They are huge and plush but you can change that if you prefer. I really like that the outside cover can be washed and is also filled. It held up great in the washer and dryer. I just followed the directions on the tag. Great price for the quality and look very nice and fluffed on the bed.

Good option
Color: White, Size: Body(Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the ACCURATEX Full Body Pillow for Adults – Hybrid Shredded Memory Foam for a few weeks now, and overall I’m really happy with it. The blend of shredded memory foam gives it a firm, supportive feel, but what I love most is that you can adjust the filling to get the exact firmness you want. Whether you prefer something more structured or slightly softer, it’s easy to customize by adding or removing foam. Comfort-wise, it’s definitely a step up from standard body pillows. It keeps its shape throughout the night and offers great support for side sleeping. That said, it is a bit firmer out of the box than I expected, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5. If you’re looking for a body pillow that won’t go flat and lets you tweak the feel to your liking, this one is a solid choice.

Favorite pillow!!
Color: White, Size: Body(Pack of 1)
I honestly wasn’t expecting to love this pillow as much as I do. Buying pillows online always feels risky because you can’t actually feel them beforehand, but this ended up being one of the best blind buys I’ve made on Amazon. The quality is genuinely shocking for the price. It feels way more expensive than it is. It’s insanely comfortable, supportive without feeling stiff, and just has that “perfect” cozy feel. I have neck problems, so I’m really picky about pillows, and this one somehow manages to be the perfect balance. It’s supportive without being stiff or overstuffed, but also not too flat where your neck feels unsupported. It has that perfect “sink in but still supportive” feel that’s hard to find. I loved the body pillow version so much that less than a week later I’m already ordering the regular pillow version too. Easily 5 stars from me!!

Probably going to replace all the pillows in the house with these
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These pillows are just about perfect. They have to be the best pillow for the money out there at least. I didn't even know that this kind of pillow existed but was asking Google Gemini what kind of pillow would best suit my list of needs and this is what we came up with. - High loft for comfortable side sleeping, but can be reduced by removing foam to be less high - Gives initially, but stays at that new same thickness throughout the night b/c it's memory foam chunks - Doesn't feel lumpy because it has the 1cm outer pillow layer that covers the memory foam pieces I'm 6/3" 210lbs and after a couple nights of adjusting I found that removing about 1 gallon ziploc of foam chunks from each pillow was about perfect. I saved the foam in ziplocs in case I change my mind. They come REALLY loaded at first so should fit literally anyone with some adjusting. It was definitely too big the first two nights until I got it just right.
