One of Kids Committee List's Red Maple Fiction Readers Books for 2024
"Engaging characters kept me turning the pages even when spine-chilling scenes made me wish I hadn’t decided to read this after dark." —Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Someone Is Always Watching
“A chilling story of shadows and of witches who want more than just your soul to keep. Joel is a master in the art of suspense, and you'll root for Josephine too while she slowly uncovers the terrifying secrets of her new home all the way to its horrific, heart-pounding conclusion.” —Rin Chupeco, author of The Bone Witch
“House of Ash and Bone breathes new life into YA horror and also announces the arrival of a powerful new voice! Highly recommended!” —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and editor of Weird Tales Magazine
"Crammed with jump scares and terrifying twists, House of Ash and Bone is a chilling, spine-tingling thriller with atmosphere to spare. Joel A. Sutherland’s debut young adult novel is a winner from creepy start to terrifying finish, a classic horror tale with a contemporary vibe that’s sure to have readers of all ages flipping pages until late into the night. I loved it!" —Tom Ryan, award-winning author of Keep This to Yourself
"A thoroughly enjoyable, suspenseful supernatural tale." —Kirkus Reviews
"Sutherland lets readers know from the start that something is wrong with the house and its inhabitants. A feeling of being unmoored permeates the book as Josephine tries to understand what is real and what is delusion. . . . A creepy and unsettling ghost story." —School Library Journal
The Haunted meets House of Salt and Sorrows in this young adult debut horror by acclaimed master of the macabre Joel A. Sutherland.
Seventeen-year-old Josephine Jagger is a talented writer with special abilities she doesn't fully understand. Over the years she has developed methods to cope with the voices she hears in her head, but the old house her family has inherited in Vermont makes Josephine question what's real and what's not more than anything she's ever encountered before. It's filled with shadows, and whispers, and the unshakable feeling of being watched. Josephine then catches her first glimpse of a shadowy woman with long hair, pale skin, an impossibly wide smile and hollow pits for eyes. Her name is Dorcas, the ghost of a witch who died three hundred years ago. She has summoned the family to Vermont to ensnare them - then consume them - in order to rise from the grave and live again . . .
