A Paste Magazine Pick of Best Horror Books of 2023

A Library Journal Book of the Year in Horror

Mona Awad’s Bunny meets Stranger Things when a summer storm sweeps through a sleepy town, unleashing a monstrous power that threatens to bend reality, from the Bram Stoker Award–winning author of Queen of Teeth.

Three years after running away from home, Olivia is stuck with a dead-end job in nowhere town Chapel Hill, Pennsylvania. At least she has her best friend, Sunflower.

Olivia figures she’ll die in Chapel Hill, if not from boredom, then the summer night storm which crashes into town with a mind-bending monster in tow.

If Olivia’s going to escape Chapel Hill and someday reconcile with her parents, she’ll need to dodge residents enslaved by the storm’s otherworldly powers and find Sunflower.

But as the night strains friendships and reality itself, Olivia suspects the storm, and its monster, may have its eyes on Sunflower and everything she loves.

Including Olivia.

Editorial Reviews

“Every moment is earned, every monster deserving of its time in the spotlight. In short, it’s a perfect primer for the beautifully dark world of Hailey Piper’s fiction, as well as a must-read for longtime fans.” —Paste magazine

“If Neil Gaiman, Mary Shelley, and Shirley Jackson could collaborate, this stunning novel would be the result.” —Library Journal (starred review)

“The story twists reader expectations into knots, flipping genre conventions and connecting unlikely elements to make something truly singular. The result is an ambitious, genre-shredding novel that takes big swings and, improbably, lands every one.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“It is completely wild, a little ridiculous in a fun way…and plenty gross, too. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!” —BookRiot

“A vivid, imaginative, and chillingly tense novel.” —Eric LaRocca, author of The Trees Grew Because I Bled There

“Thrillingly original. Piper deftly stitches threads of vulnerability, existential anxiety, and complex friendship power dynamics into a feverish, nail-biting, writhing-in-your-seat nightmare. A juicy horror tale you’ll want to sink your teeth into, before it sinks its teeth into you.” —Rachel Harrison, Bram Stoker Award–nominated author of The Return
