For fans of: Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky
From the Nebula Award-winning author of The Art of Starving and Blackfish City comes a frightening and uncanny ghost story about a rapidly changing city in upstate New York and the mysterious forces that threaten it.
"A successful 'influencer' photographer returns to the gentrifying hometown that nearly broke him, and all hell breaks loose. The Blade Between is as addictive and brutal as it is smart and challenging. Miller unflinchingly confronts the sins of our past and present. The horrors here are rooted in there being no easy answers despite our individual and collective souls being ultimately at stake. Plus whales!"
—Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World and Survivor Song

In the vein of Roxane Gay’s Bad Feminist and Issa Rae’s

Girl Gurl Grrrl is a radical and magical diasporic curation of love for Black dialect, Black freedom, Black cool, Black culture, Black joy, and mostly-—and specifically—Black women."
