Description

Bloomsbury presents They Bloom at Night by Trang Thanh Tran, read by Nhi Do.

The author of the New York Times bestselling horror phenomenon She Is a Haunting is back with a novel about the monsters that swim beneath us . . . and live within us.

Since the hurricane, the town of Mercy, Louisiana has been overtaken by a strange red algae bloom. Noon and her mother have carved out a life in the wreckage, trawling for the mutated wildlife that lurks in the water and trading it to the corrupt harbormaster. When she's focused on survival, Noon doesn't have to cope with what happened to her at the Cove or the monster itching at her skin.

Mercy has never been a safe place, but it's getting worse. People are disappearing, and the only clues as to why are whispers of underwater shadows and warnings to never answer the knocks at night. When the harbormaster demands she capture the creature that's been drowning residents, Noon finds a reluctant ally in his daughter Covey. And as the next storm approaches, the two set off to find what's haunting Mercy. After all, Noon is no stranger to monsters . . .

Narrator

Nhi Do

A literary tour-de-force that should go down in history as a masterclass in atmospheric and terrifying writing.

Kosoko Jackson, USATODAY bestselling author of THE FOREST DEMANDS ITS DUE
A briny, rotting ode to the things we must become to survive and the things we yearn to become when the surviving is over. In elegant, atmospheric prose, Trang Thanh Tran peels back layers of salty skin and sea foam to expose the truth: even when we are wrong, even when we are monstrous, we are whole.

Courtney Gould, award-winning author of THE DEAD AND THE DARK
Gorgeous, gruesome, and fiercely cathartic, They Bloom at Night is body horror with a beating heart.

Rebecca Mahoney, author of THE VALLEY AND THE FLOOD and THE MEMORY EATER
Contrasts the disturbing with the beauty of human connection. . . . A moving contemplation on queerness and gender identity, the immigrant experience, and moving beyond survival to fight back against oppressors.

Booklist, starred review
A strange and grisly tale of what we can survive to get closer to our truest selves, deeply infused with Vietnamese cultural concepts.

School Library Journal, starred review
Tran fills the pages with sensory detail, creating a haunting setting that immerses readers in their worldbuilding. Noon is a complex and multifaceted protagonist, whose reckoning with trauma and selfhood (especially gender identity and Vietnamese ancestry) is the emotional center anchoring the extraordinary plot events.
