Sawkill Girls

★ Legrand’s lush and pensive prose matches the murky, dangerous, and beautiful island setting…. Rich and earthy horror.

★ This is cinematically, gorgeously creepy and horrific, sliding between breathlessly suspenseful and disturbingly grotesque. …A wholly and frighteningly unique tale.

★ …Add to this plot a sentient island, a centuries-old fraternal order, bone-deep feminism and coming-of-age story arcs to get Claire Legrand’s (Furyborn) remarkable Sawkill Girls. Legrand accomplishes the kind of slow-building tension and mounting horror that will give readers night terrors. Read this book, then lock it in the freezer.

★ Through this dank, atmospheric, and genuinely frightening narrative, Legrand weaves powerful threads about the dangerous journey of growing up female…an intensely character-driven story about girls who support each other, girls who betray each other, and girls who love each other in many complicated ways. Strange, eerie, and unforgettable.
