A cynical twenty something must confront her unconventional
family’s dark secrets in this fiery, irreverent horror novel from
the acclaimed author of Cackle and Such Sharp Teeth. Nobody has a
“normal” family; but Vesper Wright’s is truly... something
else. Vesper left home at eighteen and never looked back—mostly
because she was told that leaving the staunchly religious community
she grew up in meant she couldn’t return. But then an envelope
arrives on her doorstep. Inside is an invitation to the wedding of
Vesper’s beloved cousin Rosie. It’s to be hosted at the family
farm. Have they made an exception to the rule? It wouldn’t be the
first time Vesper’s been given special treatment. Is the invite a
sweet gesture? An olive branch? A trap? Doesn’t matter. Something
inside her insists she go to the wedding. Even if it means
returning to the toxic environment she escaped. Even if it means
reuniting with her mother; Constance; a former horror film star and
forever ice queen. When Vesper’s homecoming exhumes a
terrifying secret; she’s forced to reckon with her
family’s beliefs and her own crisis of faith in this
deliciously sinister novel that explores the way family ties can
bind us as we struggle to find our place in the world.
