Margot Nielsen has never managed to get her strangely secretive mother to tell her anything about their family. But when her desperate search for answers leads her to a town called Phalene and a grandmother who’s clearly hiding secrets of her own, Margot only finds more questions. As a creeping blight poisons the fields and a fire turns up a disturbingly familiar body, Margot must untangle her family’s past if she ever hopes to leave Phalene alive.
Here is some early buzz for the novel:
“Gritty and strange, this sophomore novel is utterly compelling.” —Maggie Reagan, Booklist (starred review)
“Burn Our Bodies Down is a masterpiece: an incredible and unnerving mystery that will creep up on you, twisty and labyrinthine, like the eerie cornfields of its setting.” —Holly Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder
“Rory Power’s prose hits like a lightning strike in this deliriously creepy tale, the kind of slow-crawling horror that’ll keep your nightmares up at night.” —Melissa Albert, New York Times bestselling author of The Hazel Wood
