The author of Such Sharp Teeth and Cackle returns with a fiery, irreverent horror thriller about a jaded twentysomething who has to face the terrible secrets of her eccentric family.
Everyone has a "normal" family, but Vesper Wright's is really...unusual. Vesper was warned that she could not return after leaving the deeply religious society where she was raised, which is largely why she left home at the age of eighteen and never looked back. However, an envelope shows up at her door.
An invitation to Vesper's dear cousin Rosie's wedding is enclosed. The farm owned by the family will host it. Have they broken the rule in some way? Vesper would not be the first to receive preferential treatment. Is this a kind invitation? A branch of olives? A snare? Not important. She feels compelled to attend the wedding for some reason. even if it means going back to the dangerous place she left behind. Even if it means meeting her mother Constance again—a former horror movie star who will always be an ice queen.
Vesper is forced to confront her family's beliefs and her own spiritual crises when her homecoming unearths a horrifying secret. This wonderfully spooky tale explores how family ties may bind us as we strive to find our place in the world.
