""A must-read for people who love stories as moving as they are horrific."" -- Booklist, Starred Review ""Decadently atmospheric and deeply unsettling, Bone of My Bone delivers a deliciously disturbing tale about survival and the choices we're forced to make along the way. Johanna van Veen's sublime prose and worldbuilding left me completely enthralled."" -- Monika Kim, award-winning author of The Eyes are the Best Part ""Bone Of My Bone is a holy sojourn of a novel. Fans of Christopher Buehlman's Between Two Fires will surely worship this blasphemous masterclass of sapphic historical horror. I, for one, am bowing down before Johanna van Veen."" -- Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes ""Bone of My Bone is a gripping folk-horror fable about love, loss and loyalty that kept me up reading late into the night. Johanna van Veen vividly conjures a Bavaria blighted by death and dark magic in a tale that is sure to hold you in its spell."" -- Carmella Lowkis, author of Spitting Gold ""Bone of My Bone is a gruesome, beautiful, and utterly unputdownable read. Johanna van Veen writes lovable characters and historical horror masterfully--I couldn't put it down."" -- Tatiana Schlote-Bonne, author of The Mean Ones ""Exquisite and sumptuous like the most ornate bone-and-ivory casket, Johanna Van Veen's new novel--perhaps her most compelling yet, fast-paced and surprising, and not without some mischievously funny moments--moves with cinematic assuredness through a war-ravaged hellscape and tackles big themes, faith and love and desire, with consummate deftness."" -- Andrea Morstabilini, author of A Blood as Bright as the Moon ""Johanna van Veen writes beautifully rich and daring horror, and Bone of My Bone is her finest novel yet. Every page thrums with desperation, hunger, and dread - this is a breathlessly twisted and ghoulish tale that boasts a fierce, gleaming flame of hope at its heart. Never shrinking from the bitter reality of life in the 1600s, van Veen keeps you happily wriggling on the end of a very sharp hook as she explores the kind of delicate, hard-earned courage that can conquer unspeakable evil."" -- Josh Winning, author of Heads Will Roll ""A sapphic romance buried amid the gore of war, necromancy, and getting a little too familiar with the skull of a saint, Bone of My Bone is captivating historical horror at its best."" -- Chelsea Conradt, USA Today bestselling author of The Farmhouse ""Captivating and unsettling from the very first page, this lyrical Gothic tale will rip your heart out. A dark vision of a dark time in history, Bone of My Bone braids together love and death, hope and fear, suffering and delight as only Johanna Van Veen can. Exquisite."" -- Charlotte Cross, author of The Brides
