From Lindy Ryan, the sequel to Bless Your Heart, Another Fine Mess brings the Evans women back around in this unputdownable, crackling, rollicking mystery of humor, heart, and horror.For over a hundred years, the Evans women have kept the undead in their strange southeast Texas town from rising. But sometimes the dead rise too quick – and that’s what left Lenore Evans, and her granddaughter Luna, burying Luna’s mother, Grace, and Lenore’s mother, Ducey. Now the only two women left in the Evans family, Luna and Lenore are left rudderless in the wake of the most Godawful Mess to date.

But when the full moon finds another victim, it’s clear their trouble is far from over. Now Lenore, Luna, and the new sheriff ― their biggest ally ― must dig deep down into family lore to uncover what threatens everything they love most. The body count ticks up, the most unexpected dead will rise – and force Lenore and Luna to face the possibility that the undead aren’t the only monsters preying on their small town.

“If you ever thought Supernatural should have starred the Golden Girls, have I got the series for you.

Balancing grief and duty, monsters and men, the Evans women are characters to sink your teeth into.” — Katrina Monroe, author of Through the Midnight Door

Praise for Bless Your Heart:

"A gloriously gruesome, compulsively readable debut that is as grizzly as it is clever and heartfelt, offering an inventive, poignant, and thoroughly entertaining exploration of legacy. Absolutely brilliant." - Rachel Harrison, national bestselling author of Cackle and Such Sharp Teeth on Bless Your Heart
“If you don't think a horror novel can somehow feel like Steel Magnolias meets Buffy with a dab of Straub's Ghost Story, well . . . Bless Your Heart. Lindy Ryan's debut novel is a bloodsoaked blast, packed with delightful characters and shockingly gruesome mayhem. And its ending seems to imply further adventures involving the Evans women, something I would welcome like a glass of sweet tea on a hot summer day.\” Nat Cassidy, author of Mary: An Awakening of Terror and Nestlings on Bless Your Heart
“The Evans women have arrived and these southern belle slayers are carving out a spot in our undead hearts. Lindy Ryan has harnessed the charm and horror of a Romero-helmed Steel Magnolias, equal parts Carson McCullers and Bram Stoker. Bless her heart.\” ? Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters on Bless Your Heart
“Such a brilliant blend of banter and dread. Authored with the confidence of a storyteller who knows every inch, cadence, and beat of their tale. Instantly cinematic. And if you’re anything like me, you’re going to wish you were part of the Evans family, working at the Evans Funeral Home, just so you can spend more time with these people. Lindy Ryan is on fire with this book.” — Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and Daphne on Bless Your Heart
