Product Description
by Aaliyah Green (Author)
The Bones Stay is a short-story collection of five independently-imagined tales twined together by magic, consequences, and the influence of three root-working sisters. Between a cursed fortune, a cul-de-sac where jealousy bakes a fateful pie, and the horror of eternity, there is a common thread: fear, love, and the absence of love. Any wish can be a poison, and the family tree has eyes.
Here, Green honors the tradition of Zora Neale Hurston by steeping each story with African-American lore and complex female characters. The event horizon of terror and hope builds a home in the pages of The Bones Stay... and that home looks like an old house in the woods, either inhabited by three sisters or haunted by them. (Isabel J. Wallace)
