A cemetery full of the restless dead. A town so wicked it has
already burned twice, with the breath of the third fire looming. A
rural, isolated bridge with a terrifying monster waiting for the
completion of its summoning ritual. A lake that allows the drowned
to return, though they have been changed by the claws of death.
These are the shadowed, liminal spaces where the curses and
monsters lurk, refusing to be forgotten. Hauntings, and a variety
of horrifying secrets, lurk in the places we once called home.
Written by New York Times bestselling, and other critically
acclaimed, authors these stories shed a harsh light on the scariest
tales we grew up with.
Lush and chilling, with razor-sharp edges and an iron core of hope,
this bewitching, powerhouse novel of two girls fighting back
against the violence the world visits on them will stun and enchant
readers. Girls have been going missing in the woods... When
Natasha's sister disappears, Natasha desperately turns to Della, a
local girl rumored to be a witch, in the hopes that magic will
bring her sister home. But Della has her own secrets to hide. She
thinks the beast who's responsible for the disappearances is her
own mother-who was turned into a terrible monster by magic gone
wrong. Natasha is angry. Della has little to lose. Both are each
other's only hope. From the author of Ghost Wood Song, this eerie
contemporary fantasy is perfect for fans of Wilder Girls and Bone
Gap. Praise for Ghost Wood Song: "A gorgeous, creepy gem of a
book." -Claire Legrand, New York Times bestselling author of
Furyborn and Sawkill Girls "It will make your heart dance." -Jeff
Zentner, Morris Award-winning author of The Serpent King and

setting, and, for the musically inclined, lots of folk and
bluegrass references." -Booklist "Haunting and alluring." -Kirkus

Ninth House meets The Dead and the Dark in this gothic dark
academia novel that delves into the human capacity for great love,
great art, and great evil. Magni animi numquam moriuntur. Great
minds never die. The students in Corbin College's elite academic
society, Magni Viri, have it all--free tuition, inspirational
professors, and dream jobs once they graduate. When first-gen
college student Tara is offered a chance to enroll, she doesn't
hesitate.? Except once she's settled into the gorgeous Victorian
dormitory, something strange starts to happen. She's finally
writing, but her stories are dark and twisted. Her dreams feel as
if they could bury her alive. An unseen presence seems to stalk her
through the halls. And a chilling secret awaits Tara at the heart
of Magni Viri--one that just might turn her nightmares into
reality; one that might destroy her before she has a chance to
escape. All That Consumes Us will pull readers into a hypnotizing,
dark reverie that blurs the lines of reality and shows that the
addictive nature of ambition--and its inevitable price--always
claims its due.
