'Witty, witchy, darkly brilliant' Andrea Barrett

'A wunderkammer of beauty and sorrow.' Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream House

A lovesick nanny slays a dragon. The devil tries to save her mother. A girl drowns and becomes a saint. Three kids plot to blow up their dad, a grieving mother sails the sea to find her son's grave, a scientist brings a voice to life, and a mermaid falls into the power of a witch. Here, historical fiction, horror, and fantasy tangle together in a queer garden of love, grief, and longing.
