If these walls could scream

The acclaimed author of Nettle and Bone returns with a haunting Southern Gothic tale, A House With Good Bones, which explores the twisted roots lurking just beneath the veneer of a perfect home.

"Mom seems off." Her brother's words echo in Sam Montgomery's ear as she turns onto the quiet North Carolina street where their mother lives alone. Stepping inside the house, she quickly realizes home isn’t what it used to be. Her mom jumps at the smallest noises. And when Sam steps out back to clear her head, she finds a jar of teeth hidden beneath the rose bushes, and vultures are circling the garden from above.

To find out what’s got her mom so frightened in her own home, Sam will go digging for the truth. But some secrets are better left buried.
