I do love a good small town mystery and The Bad Ones is the story of four people who vanish one winter’s night and the girl who’s investigating the disappearances. It sounds like there’s some exciting occult stuff going on and I can’t wait to read about it! The Bad Ones will be released February 20, 2024!
NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Melissa Albert returns with THE BAD ONES , a supernatural horror novel about four mysterious disappearances in a town haunted by a sinister magical history
Goddess, goddess, count to five
In the morning, who’s alive?
In the course of a single winter’s night, four people vanish without a trace across a small town.
Nora Powell’s estranged best friend, Becca, is one of the lost. As Nora tries to untangle the truth of Becca’s disappearance, she discovers a darkness in her town’s past, as well as a string of coded messages Becca left for her to unravel. These clues lead Nora to a piece of local a legendary goddess of forgotten origins who played a role in Nora and Becca’s own childhood games.
An arresting, crossover horror fantasy threaded with dark magic, THE BAD ONES is a poison-pen love letter to semi-toxic best friendship, the occult power of childhood play and artistic creation, and the razor-thin line between make-believe and belief.
