Vintage Classics American Gothic Series




Spine-tingling, mind-altering, and deliciously atmospheric, this captivating collection delves into the dark side of America, presenting nine of its most eerie classics.


A gripping and dark fictionalized account of life inside the infamous Manson family, this novel offers a fresh perspective from one of the most exciting young voices in fiction.


If you find yourself lost, rest assured, they will find you.


Evie Boyd, a fourteen-year-old girl, yearns for attention and finds herself in the summer of 1969, with restless, empty days stretching ahead. Until she glimpses them. The girls. Hair long and uncombed, jewelry catching the sun. And at their center, Suzanne, with her black hair and captivating beauty.


Without Suzanne's influence, Evie might not have ventured into this unknown world. However, intoxicated by her allure and the promise of a new life, Evie follows the girls back to the decaying ranch where they reside.


Was there a warning, a sign of what was to come? Or did Evie possess an innate understanding that there was no turning back?


Cline's novel is a testament to its tautness, beauty, and savage nature, demanding the reader's full attention from start to finish.


The Guardian has praised it as "a gripping and dark fictionalized account of life inside the infamous Manson family, this novel offers a fresh perspective from one of the most exciting young voices in fiction."
