"Morbid, gruesome, and viscerally scary--this story made my skin crawl." -- Amy Lukavics, author of Daughters unto Devils
"Dark, gory, and impossibe to put down. A worthy addition to the horror genre!" --Gretchen McNeil, author of Ten and the Don't Get Mad series
*STARRED REVIEW: "In the spirit of M.T. Anderson's Thirsty (1997), Ward's apocalyptic novel will have readers checking the ground beneath their feet after each turn of the page. Readers meet Lea, a confident teenage girl who just wants to hang out with her friends and spend quality time with her new girlfriend, Aracely. But when the Earth begins to ooze blood and other body parts, Lea's hometown becomes a war zone, with citizens fighting over fresh water and food rations, and Lea becomes ever more concerned with her dwindling faith in humanity, her declining mental state, and the blood that won't stop rising. To her family and close friends, Lea's sexuality is largely a nonissue, which is refreshing (and sensible, considering the impending apocalypse); furthermore, readers looking for the next LGBT heroine will love Lea's strong-willed attitude. The frightful moments are craftily deployed, creeping up and startling readers when they're least expecting it. And the government PSAs regarding the blood that punctuate Lea's narration are enough to panic even the most fearless of readers, their commonplace mundanity highlighting the freakishness. Grisly and sickening (but in the best way possible), the novel more than delivers on its promise of the macabre for lovers of horror, and curious readers will close the book with countless questions about religion, science, and human nature." --Kirkus Reviews

"I'm always on the lookout for books that feature queer women (bonus if it's not about their queerness, but simply there within the context of the world). In honor of the lovely queer girl relationship in Bleeding Earth, I'll be sharing 4 quotes I absolutely adored from the novel with you all." - YA Interrobang
"BLEEDING EARTH is an intense horror novel with a post-apocalyptic theme as well as a bit of romance. The storyline is captivating and incredibly unique; there's never a dull moment." - TeenReads
Between Mother Nature and human nature, disasters are inevitable.
Lea was in a cemetery when the earth started bleeding. Within twenty-four hours, the blood made international news. All over the world, blood oozed out of the ground, even through the concrete, even in the water. Then the earth started growing hair and bones.
Lea wishes she could ignore the blood. She wishes she could spend time with her new girlfriend, Aracely, in public, if only Aracely wasn't so afraid of her father. Lea wants to be a regular teen again, but the blood has made her a prisoner in her own home. Fear for her social life turns into fear for her sanity, and Lea must save herself and her girlfriend however she can.
