"Some novels are intended to be devoured in one sitting. Such is the case with Sunyi Dean's The Book Eaters. Innovative, unique, poignant, and told with a voice as original as the story itself. I finished this novel in that one sitting, yet I'll be pondering it for a long time to come. This is the debut of a new master of the modern fantasy. Don 't miss it' James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Starless Crown 'A delightfully weird exploration of motherhood, queerness, and escaping patriarchal norms' Buzzfeed 'Raw and imaginative, this gritty, gothic anti-fairytale knows the truth: love will make a villain out of anyone' Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six 'Sunyi Dean's The Book Eaters is a darkly sweet pastry of a book about family, betrayal, and the lengths we go to for the ones we love. Great reading for a rainy morning, with tea or coffee on, a cat in your lap, and nowhere to be but lost in a delicious modern fairy tale' Christopher Buehlman, author of The Blacktongue Thief 'Dean reinvents the vampire in way that's both disturbing' RJ Barker, bestselling author of The Bone Ships 'A riveting tale that consumed me as earnestly as I devoured it. Full of grit and humanity, Sunyi Dean expertly weaves the complexities of motherhood, loyalty, and found family in a world not far from our own.

Dean's debut has already established her as a master of craft. If I were a book eater, this novel would be one to savour' Saara El-Arifi, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Final Strife 'This beautiful, delicate, cruel, utterly unique look at tradition, motherhood, trauma, and what it means to be a monster would be a masterpiece from an established author. As a debut, it is nothing short of stunning. It kept surprising me all the way to the end' Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of Every Heart A Doorway.
