Her Wicked Roots is a stellar, genre-bending debut from Tanya Pell. Its a full-fledged Gothic, creepy as hell and full of yearning, soaked in dread and mystery. I cant want to see what Pell does next! -- Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Birds and The House of Last Resort Darkly enchanting, Her Wicked Roots is haunting, propulsive and as hypnotic as the poisonous blooms at the novels heart. Truly a bewitching sapphic delight. -- Francesca May, author of Wild and Wicked Things and This Vicious Hunger "Tanya Pell is a horror horticulturist who has cultivated a manic botanic gothic that grafts Silvia Moreno-Garcia to Daphne du Maurier, and what sprouts out is absolutely beautiful. Her Wicked Roots reaches in and rummages through the reader's subconscious until there's no weeding it out." -- Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes "Her Wicked Roots is a true treat, sure to delight and thrill in equal measure; a must-read for fans of queer gothic novels." -- Johanna Van Veen, author of Blood on Her Tongue and My Darling Dreadful Thing "Tanya Pells Her Wicked Roots is a winding, creeping ivy, a nighttime garden bursting and blossoming with rich texture and dark, sinister bouquets. Beautiful flowers can, however, be deadly. A richly Gothic and lush retelling." -- Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Vanishing Daughters This gorgeous, haunting story coiled tight around my heart and refused to let go. An intoxicating tale of secrets, desire, hurt and bravery, rooted in the fear of losing the ones we love. Tanya Pell is such an exciting voice in horror, and this gothic mystery is truly unforgettable.
-- Josh Winning, author of Heads Will Roll
