A gripping thriller that explores identity and family secrets, Burn Our Bodies Down takes readers on a haunting journey through a mysterious town.

In Burn Our Bodies Down, Rory Power weaves a gripping tale that delves into the complexities of identity and the lengths to which loved ones will go to shield the truth. The story follows Margot, a young girl who has spent her life in the shadow of her mother's secrets. With no history to anchor her, Margot feels a deep yearning for family and connection. When she discovers a photograph that leads her to the mysterious town of Phalene, she embarks on a journey that promises answers but also unveils dark revelations.

As Margot arrives in Phalene, she quickly realizes that the town holds more than just answers about her past; it is a place where history has a tendency to repeat itself. The unsettling atmosphere and the secrets that linger in the air create a chilling backdrop for Margot's exploration. The narrative raises questions about the nature of truth and the impact of familial bonds, compelling readers to consider how much we truly know about those we love.
