Kay Chronister Knihy

The Haddesley family's deep-rooted connection to their cranberry bog is threatened when the land fails to fulfill its promise, leading to a crisis among the siblings. Middle child Wenna believes they should leave their ancestral home, while eldest Eda attempts to preserve their pact through drastic actions. Percy seeks to create his own bog-wife in the wild, and Nora struggles to unite her fractious siblings. Meanwhile, Charlie uncovers a troubling secret that challenges their understanding of family and tradition, setting the stage for conflict and revelation.

Kay Chronister’s remarkable debut collection of modern horror tales, Thin Places, echoes with the ghosts of Shirley Jackson and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, while forging its own unique gothic sensibility. Here there be monsters! And witches! These are tales of monstrous mothers and dark desires. Love, grief, death; and the exquisite pain and joy of life. With transcendent prose, Chronister chronicles the lives of powerful women and children; wicked witches and demons. These are the traumatic ghosts we all carry, and Chronister knows what it means to be human and humane. Powerful and hypnotic, these are tales you won’t forget, from a vibrant new voice.

A young girl and her father take a desperate pilgrimage through a blasted post-apocalyptic Mojave Desert to the Holy City of Las Vegas in this vivid and uncanny tale of outsiders in a dangerous world, perfect for fans of Lucy A. Snyder and Jeff Vandermeer.
