Unbury Carol cover

"This one haunts you for reasons you can't quite put your finger on. . . . [Josh Malerman] defies categories and comparisons with other writers."-Kirkus Reviews

Only three people know Carol Evers' secret.
Her best friend, who's dead.
Her husband, who hates her.
Her ex-lover, who left her.

Carol suffers from a dreadful affliction which makes her fall into long comas,
waking slumbers indistinguishable from death.

Her husband Dwight wants her next "death" to be her last.
He will claim her fortune by pronouncing her dead
... and burying her alive.

The infamous outlaw James Moxie, once Carol's lover, rides the Trail again -
pursued by murder and mayhem - to save the woman he loves.

And all the while, Carol is a prisoner in her own body. hearing her funeral plans,
summoning every ounce of will to survive...

Fantastically clever. A breakneck ride to save a life already lost, proving sometimes death is only the beginning - J.D. Barker, bestselling author of The Fourth Monkey

Breathtaking and menacing . . . an intricately plotted, lyrical page-turner about love, betrayal, revenge, and the primal fear of being buried alive - Booklist

Unbury Carol is a Poe story set in the weird West we all carry inside us, and it not only hits the ground running, it digs into that ground, too. About six wonderful feet - Stephen Graham Jones, author of Mongrel

Bleakly lyrical a la Cormac McCarthy and Flannery O'Connor - Library Journal

With vivid prose and characters that leap off the page, guns a-blazing, Unbury Carol creates its own lingering legend, dragging you along like an obstinate horse toward a righteous storm of an ending - Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Phasma
