Overview

On her twelfth birthday, the world didn't grow older. It began to rot backward. Mary Gowdie wakes to a suffocating heatwave that melts plastic and turns tap water into rust. As her body undergoes a violent change, she discovers a terrifying truth: her touch turns flowers to ash, and the inferno consuming the town is radiating from her own feverish skin. Her parents are lost to a ritualistic trance, chanting of a dark Harvest while a predatory sea of corn swallows Salem's Meadow. Reality regresses into a primitive, colonial nightmare, and Mary must control her awakening power before the Green Ocean buries them all. Some coming-of-age stories end in blood; this one ends in fire. Perfect for fans of Stephen King's *Carrie*, Thomas Tryon's *Harvest Home*, Shirley Jackson, and *Hex*. - From the author of Stairway to Darkness and many more.
