Book description
Five siblings in West Virginia unearth long-buried secrets when the supernatural bargain entwining their fate with their ancestral land is suddenly ruptured Since time immemorial, the Haddesley family has tended the cranberry bog. In exchange, the bog sustains them. The staunch seasons of their lives are governed by a strict covenant that is renewed each generation with the ritual sacrifice of their patriarch, and in return, the bog produces a “bog-wife.” Brought to life from vegetation, this woman is meant to carry on the family line. But when the bog fails—or refuses—to honor the bargain, the Haddesleys, a group of discordant siblings still grieving the mother who mysteriously disappeared years earlier, face an unknown future. Middle child Wenna, summoned back to the dilapidated family manor just as her marriage is collapsing, believes the Haddesleys must abandon their patrimony. Her siblings are not so easily persuaded. Eldest daughter Eda, de facto head of the household, seeks to salvage the compact by desecrating it. Younger son Percy retreats into the wilderness in a dangerous bid to summon his own bog-wife. And as youngest daughter Nora takes desperate measures to keep her warring siblings together, fledgling patriarch Charlie uncovers a disturbing secret that casts doubt over everything the family has ever believed about itself. At once a gothic eco-horror, a psychological drama, and a family saga, The Bog Wife is a propulsive read for fans of Shirley Jackson, Karen Russell, and Matt Bell that speaks to what is knowable and unknowable within a family history and how to know when it is time to move forward.ReviewAn Amazon Editors' Pick CrimeReads, A Best Gothic Novel of the Year Named a Most Anticipated Book by the Los Angeles Times, Polygon, Literary Hub, Book Riot, The Millions, Sunset Magazine, Reactor, & Goodreads "A hauntingly compelling gothic." —People "Much like its main characters, Kay Chronister’s new novel, The Bog Wife, lives in two worlds at once. It’s situated both in the real world, with fraught familial and marital relationships, complex social dynamics and crucial activities like paying bills and pre-emptively felling dangerous trees, as well as in a dreamy Southern gothic world filled with ancient magic, supernatural compacts and, potentially, murder . . . The Bog Wife is a lush, beautifully written novel about trying to be a person in our strange world . . . Pick this one up for its exquisite characterization, decaying settings and a dash of Southern gothic horror." —Kiersten White, The New York Times Book Review "Chronister is a dynamic writer who has married a family chronicle to literary horror in a way that will excite many readers. Perhaps more significantly, she has, in this novel, perfected the idea of place as character. The West Virginia land becomes a foil through which we see the messy tensions among the Haddesley siblings, and it is ultimately through the land that we come to see the ways that human beings bring strife and violence to the environment . . . The Bog Wife is a truly engaging novel." —Jeffrey Condran, Pittsburgh Post-GazetteAbout the AuthorKay Chronister is the author of Thin Places and Desert Creatures. Her short fiction has appeared in Strange Horizons, Clarkesworld, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, The Dark, and elsewhere, and has been nominated for the Shirley Jackson and World Fantasy awards. She lives outside of Philadelphia.
