Gennarose Nethercott: Hometown Gothic, Gebunden

Klappentext

**The eagerly awaited second novel from GennaRose Nethercott, the award-winning author of Thistlefoot and Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart,in which a young woman must embark upon a haunted quest to find her missing friend

The frogs of Lonehaven, Vermont have been watching their rural town for centuries. They've seen tourists pass through like ghosts, visible for a flash before traveling on to other lands, other lives. They've seen teens dream of getting out . . . while driving in circles between the empty lot and the rotary. They've watched farm families till ancestral soil. And, from deep in their wet beds, they've witnessed best friends Piper and Eels descending into the cellar of the old cinema . . . and only Piper coming out.

This isn't the first time Victoria Adeline Eels has disappeared. She's tried to abandon Lonehaven more times than anyone can count. But when phantom clouds of her favorite rare perfume begin manifesting, disembodied, around the village, it becomes clear that this time, not all is as it seems.

Brought brilliantly to life by Nethercott's signature lyricism and poignancy, Hometown Gothicis an epic ballad stitched through with mysterious carnivals, cursed perfume, haunted bridges, and dark secrets.
