Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "[A] wonderfully chilling and entirely immersive feminist horror story." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) When her sense of safety is shattered, a young girl realizes she must become something untamable--even otherworldly--to find freedom, in this visceral coming-of-age horror debut. She's a cautionary tale for children, "Come back before it gets dark." A man's body is found viciously murdered behind a neighborhood corner store, sending shockwaves through the tight-knit community. All the victim's family and bystanders want is to make sense of this brutal crime and move on with their lives. All Layla dreams of is freedom--to think for herself, go anywhere, and live an independent life. She's a warning to men, "Don't wander the streets late at night." When a second man is murdered, rumors fly of hoofprints and a woman with hair like black silk. Ambiguous messages in lipstick and sweet smell of perfume at the crime scenes causes the men to suspect the women around them. As Layla's world unravels, she realizes that if she wants freedom she must grow into the type of woman she's always dreamed of becoming. A woman with sharp instincts. A woman who cannot be tamed. The night is not for you. It has always belonged to her.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A cynical young outcast confronts his small town's dark secrets in this atmospheric and haunting debut horror novel from brilliant new voice Jen Julian. The town of Blacknot is not what it appears, and a place deep in the woods known only as The Night House is calling. Jesse Calloway hadn't planned to return to his repressive, backwoods hometown of Blacknot, North Carolina, after only one year away at college, but an anonymous messenger has lured him home. Eighteen years ago, his mother died under unexplained circumstances. Every story he has heard is incomplete. Now, the messenger claims to have the answers. But Jesse will have to hunt for them. Alice Catherine, the daughter of a local pork manufacturer, obsesses over Jesse in turn. To her, he is a key player in unearthing the dark family history she's convinced her father is concealing. Alice knows Jesse must find the answers himself, with the hope that once he does, he'll help her change both their futures. But Jesse's path to Alice isn't a straight line, and his questions are stirring up issues with locals, including his much older and well-armed ex-boyfriend, Harlan. When an old fling of Jesse's goes missing and Alice's plans start to unravel, it's clear there's more at stake than either of them could imagine. On a collision course littered with psychotropic fungi, time-warping magic, and far too many alligators, Jesse and Alice will need to determine how far they are willing to go for the truth, and whether they can trust each other enough to get there. …
