Evening all!

Welcome all to a new Waiting on Wednesday! Once again, spooky, haha, I just got too many spooky books to look forward to. This week I am eagerly waiting for Trang Thanh Tran’s newest book, coming in 2025 (SO LONG), namely They Bloom at Night! I absolutely loved She is a Haunting and I am super hyped that she is writing another spooky/scary book. Plus, another one with a super spooky/WTF book cover, I just love that!

This book just sounds epic. Mutated wildlife, hurricane, monsters, stuck in a small town that is a bad place, cults, and more. I definitely am hoping that a paperback comes out around the same time, because with the prices being what they are for hardcover… so crossing fingers that I won’t have to wait until 2026 (yikes).

Are you looking forward to this book? Let me know in the comments~

The author of the New York Times bestselling horror phenomenon She Is a Haunting is back with a novel about the monsters that swim beneath us . . . and live within us.

Since the hurricane, the town of Mercy, Louisiana has been overtaken by a strange red algae bloom. Noon and her mother have carved out a life in the wreckage, trawling for the mutated wildlife that lurks in the water and trading it to the corrupt harbormaster. When she’s focused on survival, Noon doesn’t have to cope with what happened to her at the Cove or the monster itching at her skin.

Mercy has never been a safe place, but it’s getting worse. People are disappearing, and the only clues as to why are whispers of underwater shadows and warnings to never answer the knocks at night. When the harbormaster demands she capture the creature that’s been drowning residents, Noon finds a reluctant ally in his daughter Covey. And as the next storm approaches, the two set off to find what’s haunting Mercy. After all, Noon is no stranger to monsters . . .
