From the New York Times bestselling author of Children on the Hill comes a queer folk horror in which a woman must confront decades of secrecy and superstition to learn the truth about her mother’s death.

Some towns stay isolated for a reason.

1919: Frankie O’Massey has always been the black sheep of isolated Boone’s Ferry, Vermont. Her uncle, Dr. Thomas Endicott, has been training her in the science of medicine, something the townspeople are wary of. When a mysterious illness strikes the town, and the community suspects supernatural forces, the two desperately search for a logical explanation. Patient zero seems to be the town’s knackerman—a recluse who collects dead and dying farm animals to make use of their parts.

2016: Siblings Ashley and Malcolm lost their mother two years ago. When their grandmother dies, they inherit a property in Boone’s Ferry—a place they’ve heard of but their grandmother has always refused to talk about—and embark on a trip to their ancestral home. The idyllic town is full of autumnal décor, picturesque farmland, and small-town charm. But some of the townspeople aren’t very welcoming—and they have some unsettling traditions, like leaving offerings to a vengeful spirit four times a year. Horror

Kritikerstimmen

"An excellent cast delivers vividly written characters."
—Kirkus Reviews
"An ensemble cast narrates this folk horror audiobook, which unfolds in two timelines. Ashley, voiced by Jeremy Carlisle Parker, inherits a house in a small town her grandmother never mentioned, which might hold the key to solving her mother’s disappearance. Parker narrates passionately, carrying the majority of the thrills. A hundred years earlier, Frankie, voiced by Jennifer Pickens, grapples with a mysterious illness that starts with the town’s knackerman, who disposes of dead animals. Pickens’ voice wavers with curiosity and horror as the illness takes its toll. In a youthful voice tinged with fear, Cassandra Campbell narrates as Mini, a local girl marked by the knackerman after failing to follow the town’s sacred rituals."
