Today, I'm excited to finally share the cover for THE BOOK OF
KINDLY DEATHS by another of my wonderful authors, Eldritch Black. The elevator pitch for
this novel was Coraline meets Tales of Beedle the Bard, which hooked
me right away. But it got better: This book totally returned on its pitch
promise many-fold times! Not only is it a compelling story with a great lead
character, but the prose is both poetic and accessible to all ages. You're in
for a treat with this book.
In dressing such an amazing read, the awesome Lisa
Amowitz outdid herself on this one!
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THE MONSTERS IN A BOOK BECAME
REAL?
When twelve-year old Eliza Winter finds a secret room in her
missing grandfather’s sprawling, Gothic house, her safe, sheltered life is
blown apart. Inside, below a stained glass window where moonlight shines no
matter the time of day, sits The Book of Kindly Deaths.
In defiance of her controlling mother, who has always
forbidden her to read anything strange or imaginary, Eliza takes the book. As
night sets in, Eliza reads one haunting story after another. And the further
she journeys inside the book, the more the boundaries between our world and a
shadowy land of monsters and forbidden places begin to blur.
When the strange, crooked man from the book arrives on the
doorstep claiming to be a rare book collector and demanding entry into the
house, Eliza’s world is turned upside down. To escape him she must dive all the
way into the spine-tingling world of The
Book of Kindly Deaths to save her grandfather—and write an end to the
nightmare she's caught inside.
