Présentation
For generations, the Haddesley family has kept a strange covenant: in exchange for the bog that sustains them, they offer their patriarch back to the mire. When the ritual goes wrong, the five surviving siblings must confront the rot at the heart of their inheritance. Kay Chronister's The Bog Wife is a literary Appalachian gothic about decaying families, toxic legacies and the price of belonging to a place. Eerie and richly atmospheric, it blends folk horror with a tender study of grief and sibling bonds. Acclaimed as one of 2024's standout horror novels, it lingers like mist over wet ground.
