While on a mission one evening to seek revenge on a rival, Ethan and his friend, Anthony Williams, are attacked by a gigantic, wolf-like creature. Although the two boys manage to escape, Ethan soon lapses into a brief coma of sorts, leading to the eventual discovery that, whether he likes it or not, he has transformed into a werewolf.

Ethan believes he has no one but himself to blame, but his best friend, Anthony, wonders if someone else is responsible for the killings.

The Lantz boys' dilemma seems to heighten with the arrival in town of a carnival. Abel Lantz has been forbidden to see his grandsons, but he's old enough to remember the last time the carnival came to town, over fifty-five years before.

Is there a connection between the carnival and the mysterious difficulties of the Lantz family? And if there is, will Dante figure it out in time to save their lives-and possibly their souls?

STELLAR RECEPTION: With its page-turning mix of mystery and horror and gorgeously
evocative writing, The Corpse Queen has been a hit at both trade publications and commercial outlets (Girls Life, Buzzfeed, Hypable, and Pop Sugar), with Kirkus saying, "If Poe's daughter told a story, this might be it and a starred review from Booklist calling it "Stylishly smart and macabre." It also has garnered award buzz and was a 2022 YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Pick, a 2023 Rhode Island Teen Book Award nominee, and a JLG selection.

PERFECT IN PAPERBACK: With a strong package and cover, combined with the mystery and horror elements we think paperback will be the perfect format to reach more readers, especially readers already enjoying towards the paperback only format of books like those of YA historical thriller writer Bryce Moore.

HAUNTING ATMOSPHERIC WRITING: Heather expertly captures the haunting, dark
underbelly of Philadelphia in in the 1850s and the slow-burn tension will have readers devouring her every word. Even at the creepiest and most unsettling moments there is an undeniable sense of wonder and beauty in her writing.

COMMERCIAL APPEAL: Full of twists and turns, this is a historical mystery that will keep readers on their toes and is perfect for fans of Kerri Maniscalco's Stalking Jack the Ripper series and Dana Schwartz's The Anatomy Duology. The light romance in the story is also immensely satisfying and has its foundation in mutual respect and consent between the characters.

FEMINIST THEMES: This is a powerful and layered story with potential crossover appeal. Rich with deep and thought provoking questions about what it means to be a woman, to have ownership over your own body, to live with agency, and thrive in a male-dominated society will have readers of feminist thrillers like The Invocations or gender-defying gothic horror like Andrew Joseph White's The Spirit Bares Its Teeth reaching for this next.

HISTORICAL INSPIRATION: While fiction, this story is rooted in history. Body snatchers, also
known as Resurrectionists, stole, shipped, and sold corpses on the black market for medical students to use for anatomy lessons throughout the 1800s in the US, England, and Scotland. The historical truth underlying the narrative makes the setting and mystery that much more compelling.

MORE TO COME: We have a new YA historical thriller standalone from Heather, this time set in the 1880s Wild West, titied Lady or the Tiger to publish a month after. We'll include an excerpt!
