An enchanting Black Southern gothic debut, perfect for readers of
Mexican Gothic... "Fresh, haunting...In her roller-coaster ride of
a gothic debut novel, Monica Brashears upends expectations at every
turn." --The New York Times "Every page, every scene, every
sentence of Monica Brashears's debut novel House of Cotton dazzles
and surprises. An intense, enthralling, and deeply satisfying
read!" --Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church
Ladies "A new, dazzling, and essential American voice." --George
Saunders, author of Lincoln in the Bardo Magnolia Brown is nineteen
years old, broke, and effectively an orphan. She feels stuck and
haunted: by her overdrawn bank account, her predatory landlord, and
the ghost of her late grandmother Mama Brown. One night, while
working at her dead-end gas station job, a mysterious, slick
stranger named Cotton walks in and offers to turn Magnolia's luck
around with a lucrative "modeling" job at his family's funeral home
where she'll impersonate the dead. There's a lucrative fee involved
and she accepts. But despite things looking up, Magnolia's problems
fatten along with her wallet. And when Cotton's requests become
increasingly demanding, Magnolia discovers there's a lot more at
stake than just her rent. Sharp as a belted knife, this sly and
haunting social commentary cuts straight to the bone. "Brashears
offers a fresh new perspective on Appalachia and the American
South, and Magnolia's rich voice will echo with readers long after
the pages are closed" (Shelf Awareness).
