She thought her demons were hers alone. Sleep paralysis monsters that vanish with the dawn. Holy oil vials tucked in her purse. A life stitched together with survival after conversion therapy, bad jobs, and worse exes.
But when a malevolent force begins stalking her through New York, more powerful than anything she has faced, she runs. Her refuge is Herculine, an all-trans girl commune hidden in Indiana’s woods, founded by her ex-girlfriend.
At first, it feels like sanctuary. Community. Belonging. Yet secrets cling to the air, cryptograms fill the library shelves, and silence follows her into every room.
Pigs are slaughtered. Rituals unfold. Breakfast turns sinister. And the demons she thought she escaped? They are here, and they are hungry.

About the book
Bram Stoker Award Nominee for Superior Achievement in a First Novel
In this queer retelling of Nathaniel Hawthorne classic gothic story, Rappaccini’s Daughter, a young woman is lured to a lush estate owned by a botanist who might be hiding dark secrets.
Cordelia Beecher is on the run. In search of her missing brother Edward, she has fled the oppressive charity school she was raised in, desperate to find the only family she knows. Using clues from his past letters, she sets off for the sleepy town of Farrow but everyone there claims to have never heard of Edward—not even the man he was supposedly working for as an apprentice.
With nowhere to go, Cordi turns to Lady Evangeline, a local botanist who owns the magnificent Edenfield estate. The benevolent lady of the manor has made it her mission to take young, often traumatized, women into her employ and protect them from man’s world of wicked desires and deceits. Hired as a maid and companion to her enigmatic daughters, Prim and Briar, Cordi quickly settles into Edenfield. Even as her relationship with Briar blossoms, Cordi can’t help but suspect that there are secrets in the estate…and when she stumbles across evidence that Edward was once there, she’s determined to find answers.
Atmospheric, eerie, and thoroughly original, Her Wicked Roots will establish Tanya Pell as a “wickedly creepy” (Josh Winning, author of Heads Will Roll) and vital voice in horror.

Some houses do not keep secrets. They feed on them.

About the book
In this supernatural thriller that’s “cruel, bone-chlling, and destined to become a classic” (Nick Cutter), bestselling horror author Ania Ahlborn asks: How far would you go for success? What would you be capable of if the promise of forever was real?
With his marriage on the rocks and his life in shambles, washed-up true-crime writer Lucas Graham is desperate for a comeback, one more shot at the bestselling success he once enjoyed. His chance comes when he’s promised exclusive access to death row inmate Jeffrey Halcomb, the notorious cult leader and mass murderer who’s ready to break his silence after thirty years, and who contacted Lucas personally from his maximum-security cell.
With nothing left to lose, Lucas leaves New York to live and work from the scene of the crime: a split-level farmhouse on a gray-sanded beach in Washington State whose foundation is steeped in the blood of Halcomb’s diviners—runaways who were drawn to his message of family, unity, and unconditional love. There, Lucas sets out to capture the real story of the departed faithful. Except that he’s not alone. For Jeffrey Halcomb promised his devout eternal life…and within these walls, they’re far from dead.

A House With Good Bones
Horror · Gothic Horror
Our take
T. Kingfisher’s A House With Good Bones was named a Barnes & Noble Best Horror Book of 2023. In this chilling Southern Gothic, Sam Montgomery returns to her mother’s home only to uncover vultures, jars of teeth, and a past too dark to stay buried. With 4.5 out of 5 stars, it’s both unsettling and unforgettable.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Sam Montgomery expects comfort when she visits her mother’s North Carolina home: cozy nights with wine, TV mysteries, and easy laughter. Instead, she finds sterile white walls where warmth once thrived, a mother who startles at shadows, and vultures circling above the garden roses.
The house feels wrong, stripped of its soul. Then Sam discovers jars of teeth buried in the yard, and her mother’s fear suddenly makes sense. Something dark has taken root beneath the foundations, twisting through their family’s past and pushing into the present.
From award-winning author T. Kingfisher, A House With Good Bones is a Southern Gothic that peels back the wallpaper of domestic bliss to reveal rot, secrets, and horrors that prove some homes are built to bury more than memories.

About the book
Mexican Gothic meets Rebecca in this debut supernatural suspense novel, set in the aftermath of the Mexican War of Independence, about a remote house, a sinister haunting, and the woman pulled into their clutches...
During the overthrow of the Mexican government, Beatriz’s father was executed and her home destroyed. When handsome Don Rodolfo Solórzano proposes, Beatriz ignores the rumors surrounding his first wife’s sudden demise, choosing instead to seize the security that his estate in the countryside provides. She will have her own home again, no matter the cost.
But Hacienda San Isidro is not the sanctuary she imagined.
When Rodolfo returns to work in the capital, visions and voices invade Beatriz’s sleep. The weight of invisible eyes follows her every move. Rodolfo’s sister, Juana, scoffs at Beatriz’s fears—but why does she refuse to enter the house at night? Why does the cook burn copal incense at the edge of the kitchen and mark the doorway with strange symbols? What really happened to the first Doña Solórzano?
Beatriz only knows two things for certain: Something is wrong with the hacienda. And no one there will save her.
Desperate for help, she clings to the young priest, Padre Andrés, as an ally. No ordinary priest, Andrés will have to rely on his skills as a witch to fight off the malevolent presence haunting the hacienda and protect the woman for whom he feels a powerful, forbidden attraction. But even he might not be enough to battle the darkness.
Far from a refuge, San Isidro may be Beatriz’s doom.

About the book
Vera swore she would never return to the Crowder House, where her father buried his victims beneath the floorboards and her mother’s silence hung heavier than the walls. But when her estranged mother calls, she answers.
Coming home is hard enough, but Vera isn’t alone. An artist now lives in the guest house, scavenging pieces of her childhood for his work. Stranger still are the notes appearing in her father’s handwriting—messages no one alive should be leaving.
As Vera digs into the foundations of the house that raised her, she confronts the love she had for a father who was also a monster and the secrets her family never unearthed. Sarah Gailey’s Just Like Home is horror at its most intimate and disturbing.
