In Lone Women, a gothic novel that fuses historical fiction with horror, we follow Adelaide, an African American woman living as a fugitive in the American West, 1915. Expect "a prevailing atmosphere of menace, a dramatic landscape, characters isolated from society, an imperiled heroine," says Rumaan Ali in The New York Review of Books. Lone Women was a national bestseller, made a number of publications' end of year lists, and has been shortlisted for several major awards.
