New York Public Library Best Book of the Year
The author of the New York Times bestselling horror phenomenon She Is a Haunting is back with a novel about the monsters that swim beneath us . . . and live within us.
Since the hurricane, the town of Mercy, Louisiana has been overtaken by a strange red algae bloom. Noon and her mother have carved out a life in the wreckage, trawling for the mutated wildlife that lurks in the water and trading it to the corrupt harbormaster. When she's focused on survival, Noon doesn't have to cope with what happened to her at the Cove or the monster itching at her skin.
Mercy has never been a safe place, but it's getting worse. People are disappearing, and the only clues as to why are whispers of underwater shadows and warnings to never answer the knocks at night. When the harbormaster demands she capture the creature that's been drowning residents, Noon finds a reluctant ally in his daughter Covey. And as the next storm approaches, the two set off to find what's haunting Mercy. After all, Noon is no stranger to monsters . . .

Reviews

A story for everyone who wants to tear off their skin and craves the strange ache of becoming something new. This book molts and chews itself raw under your fingers. It's perfect
Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of COMPOUND FRACTURE
-
A literary tour-de-force that should go down in history as a masterclass in atmospheric and terrifying writing.
Kosoko Jackson, USATODAY bestselling author of THE FOREST DEMANDS ITS DUE
-
A briny, rotting ode to the things we must become to survive and the things we yearn to become when the surviving is over. In elegant, atmospheric prose, Trang Thanh Tran peels back layers of salty skin and sea foam to expose the truth: even when we are wrong, even when we are monstrous, we are whole.
Courtney Gould, award-winning author of THE DEAD AND THE DARK
-
Trang Thanh Tran has created a horrifying, mesmerizing world that's not too far from our own, challenging us to examine who the real monsters truly are.
Alex Brown, Locus Award nominated author of DAMNED IF YOU DO
-
Gorgeous, gruesome, and fiercely cathartic, They Bloom at Night is body horror with a beating heart.
Rebecca Mahoney, author of THE VALLEY AND THE FLOOD and THE MEMORY EATER
-
A stunning exploration of healing from trauma in nature, in relationships, and within ourselves. A mesmerizing novel with visceral descriptions that are both gorgeous and terrifying.
Liselle Sambury, author of DELICIOUS MONSTERS
