Review

A supremely satisfying supernatural mystery packed with ghost-hunting, ectoplasm-conjuring, secret societies, and likeable teens (who are also supernatural). Enjoyable not just for its heart and thrills, but the amount of authentic spiritualist lore it pulls into its twisty narrative ― Adam Cesare, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD and BLOODSICK

Deliciously creepy in the very best way, Tell the Ghosts I'm Gone is everything my weird younger self would love. It left my heart racing, haunting me long after I turned the last page ― Jamison Shea, author of I FEED HER TO THE BEAST AND THE BEAST IS ME

The jaw-clenching supernatural horror I've been hungry for. To any kid who has felt too strange, too monstrous, or too much to handle: this book is for you ― Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of Compound Fracture and Hell Followed with Us

A spine-tingling camp slasher with a cast of characters you can't help but root for. ― Ryan Douglass, New York Times bestselling author of THE TAKING OF JAKE LIVINGSTON, on YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DIE TONIGHT

Bayron takes an old story, turns it on its head, and makes it her own with a stunning display of pacing, character, and legacy. ― #1 New York Times bestselling author E.K. Johnston, on THIS POISON HEART

An intoxicating tale about the power of about Black motherhood and daughterhood, and family bonds that can't be broken. Like the poisonous plants Briseis tends to, This Poison Heart is mesmerizing and beautiful. ― Tracy Deonn, New York Times bestselling author of LEGENDBORN, on THIS POISON HEART
