A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year
★ "Power's evocative, haunting, and occasionally gruesome debut
will challenge readers to ignore its bewitching
presence." —Booklist, starred review
★ "This gritty, lush debut chronicling psychological and
environmental tipping points...weaves a chilling narrative that
disrupts readers' expectations through an expertly crafted,
slow-burn reveal of the deadly consequences of climate
change....Part survival thriller, part post-apocalyptic romance,
and part ecocritical feminist manifesto, a staggering gut punch of
a book." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
★ "An ode to empowering women and a testament to the strength of
female bonds....Far more than just an unsettling horror story, this
powerful debut novel about a strange disease at an all-girls
boarding school explores female empowerment, friendship and
survival with tenacity and brilliance." —Shelf Awareness,
starred review
★ “Electric prose, compelling relationships, and visceral horror
illuminate Power’s incisive debut...[and its] environmental
and feminist themes are resonant, particularly the immeasurable
costs of experimentation on female bodies, and the power of female
solidarity and resilience amid ecological and political turmoil.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Tightly coiled narration moves between quietly reserved to vividly
but coldly detailed, doubling the horror." —Bulletin
"Your new favorite book." —Cosmopolitan
“Everything about this thrilling, unnerving debut will make you
want to immediately read it. For fans of Mindy McGinnis and Gillian
French.” —Paste

ways. I’m convinced we’re about to witness the emergence of a major
new literary star.” —Jeff VanderMeer, author of the New York
Times bestseller Annihilation

horror novel of my dreams—one that celebrates the resilience of
girls and the earthshaking power of their friendships. An eerie,
unforgettable triumph." —Claire Legrand, New York Times bestselling
author of Furyborn
“A nightmarish survival story that’s as much literary fiction as it
is young adult...I couldn’t look away." —Casey McQuiston, New
York Times bestselling author of Red, White, and Royal Blue
"The eeriness of Raxter Island permeates every scene, and Rory
Power's characters are fierce and honest, blazing from the pages.
This is a groundbreaking speculative story—brutal and beautiful,
raw and unflinching. I adored this book." —Emily Suvada, author of
This Mortal Coil
"A feminist, LGBT+, sci-fi-horror story with all the tantalizing
elements of gore, mystery, war, and love you can ask for. Real,
flawed, brave girls against a world gone mad. A shudderingly good
read!” —Dawn Kurtagich, author of Teeth in the Mist
