"WAS DESIRE SOMETHING LIKE BEING POSSESSED BY A NIGHTMARE?"
Fernanda and Annelise are so close they are practically sisters: a
double image, inseparable. So how does Fernanda end up bound on the
floor of a deserted cabin, held hostage by one of her teachers and
estranged from Annelise? When Fernanda, Annelise, and their friends
from the Delta Bilingual Academy convene after school, Annelise
leads them in thrilling but increasingly dangerous rituals to a
rhinestoned, Dior-scented, drag-queen god of her own invention.
Even more perilous is the secret Annelise and Fernanda share,
rooted in a dare in which violence meets love. Meanwhile, their
literature teacher Miss Clara, who is obsessed with imitating her
dead mother, struggles to preserve her deteriorating sanity. Each
day she edges nearer to a total break with reality. Interweaving
pop culture references and horror concepts drawn from Herman
Melville, H. P. Lovecraft, and anonymous "creepypastas," Jawbone is
an ominous, multivocal novel that explores the terror inherent in
the pure potentiality of adolescence and the fine line between
desire and fear.
