☆ Shortlisted for the 2023 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Novel
☆ Finalist for the 2024 Locus Award for Horror
In this unsettling, parable-like novel, a community’s obsession with a mysterious new fruit grown from only seven trees soon turns sour—and forces them to face up to their hometown’s dark history. It is, promises the Los Angeles Review of Books, “at once a commentary on contemporary culture and a timeless and wholly American horror novel that will appeal to longtime genre aficionados and newcomers alike.”
