Publisher Description

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.

Thumbs Up“this was just a nice little cosmic horror to break up my reading. I grabbed this novel on a whim, and then i see that they will be doing a King in Yellow homage, and I am here for all the horrific energy. this story also had LGTBQ++ characters and a they/them character which i love to see. looking forward to another story from this author later this year.”
Expressionless Face“Had a hard time finishing the book. The biggest plot twist was in the middle and after that it fell into a repetitive, disjointed rambling. Was not impressed.”
