You Make Me Fall To Pieces
A collection of short horror stories about injury and deception by Edele Winnie.
Edele Winnie crafts a series of brief narratives that examine the intersection of physical trauma and psychological manipulation. The text uses the imagery of slipping on lemons to represent sudden, unexplained suffering. Each story focuses on the aftermath of such incidents, where characters construct false explanations for their bruises.

The work does not offer redemption or closure but instead lingers on the discomfort of unknown causes. Readers engage with the text by questioning the reliability of personal accounts and the allure of sensationalism.
Published in 2018 by an independent press, this work sits within the contemporary landscape of self-published horror. It reflects a period where authors bypassed traditional gatekeepers to explore niche gothic themes directly with readers seeking alternative supernatural narratives.
