Monstrous

From the author of Bad Witch Burning comes a pulse-pounding supernatural thriller about a teen who uncovers terrifying secrets hidden in a mysterious small town. Perfect for fans of Supernatural and Lovecraft Country.

When Latavia is sent to spend the summer with her aunt in Sanctum, Alabama, she’s given three simple rules: don’t go outside after dark, come straight home after church, and above all—never, ever go into Red Wood.

At first, the strange little town seems bearable, especially thanks to the cute girl working at the local ice cream shop. But the longer Latavia stays, the more she realizes that Sanctum’s friendly residents are hiding something. Everyone insists the town is perfectly normal, yet the whispered warnings and uneasy glances tell a different story.

Whatever lurks inside Red Wood has the entire town living in fear. As Latavia edges closer to the truth, she discovers that breaking her aunt’s rules could cost her more than her summer—it could mean never leaving Sanctum alive.
