Biographical Note: For The Bones Beneath My Skin "Even as the character arcs pack emotional punches and the plot builds with intensity, the story is balanced with the humor and wry character introspection Klune ( In the Lives of Puppets) is known for... This reissued stand-alone solidifies Klune's reputation for skillful prose and worldbuilding." -- Library Journal, starred review "Are we going on an adventure? Yes, yes we are! This is the sci-fi romance adventure you never knew you needed. TJ's characters are broken but they are so full of heart and hope that you will lose yourself entirely to their story and find that they will continue to remain in your heart long after you have finished." --Jennifer L. Armentrout, New York Times bestselling author of Fall of Ruin and Wrath For The House in the Cerulean Sea A New York Times, USA Today, and Washington Post Bestseller! An Indie Next Pick!

Schwab, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue "This book is very close to perfect." --Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of Every Heart a Doorway "An utterly absorbing story of tolerance, found family, and defeating bureaucracy." --Gail Carriger, New York Times bestselling author of Soulless "A modern fairy tale about learning your true nature and what you love and will protect.

An Indie Next Pick! " Under the Whispering Door is a kind book. It broke my heart with its unflinching understanding that grief never goes away. And then it healed me in the next breath." --Cassandra Khaw, USA Today bestselling author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth "There is so much to enjoy in Under the Whispering Door, but what I cherish the most is its compassion for the little things--a touch, a glance, a precious piece of dialogue--healing me, telling me that for all the strangenesses I hold, I am valued, valid--and maybe even worthy of love." --Ryka Aoki author of Light from Uncommon Stars "Klune's latest is a sweet tale of grief and second chances, and a ghost story about not giving up on even the most lost of souls." -- Booklist "Tenderness, wit, and skillful worldbuilding elevate this delightful tale. Fans of queer fantasy won't want to miss this." -- Publishers Weekly Publisher Marketing: A timeless romance set in a perfect little town with a big dark secret by #1 New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, now available in hardcover from Tor Books A bookseller, a waiter, and the best little town there is! On a temperate morning in 1954, Mike wakes up in the idyllic town of Amorea. Amorea is perfect. Mike works his dream job at the local bookstore, where he leads lively discussions of literature with the local women's club. At the diner, the walls are plastered with beaming photos of the residents, and all the staff know his order--especially Sean, the waiter who has a special smile just for Mike and, after years of anticipation, is ready to take the next step in their burgeoning romance. Everything is perfect. But the edges of the town are beginning to fray. Odd things catch Mike's attention, things no one else seems to notice or care about. There are no children or parents in Amorea and no one who's left town for the far mountains has ever come back. There are subjects in the diner photos that only a few people can remember. One night, Mike wakes up to a stormcloud of uncanny starlings blackening the sky. And soon enough, he begins to question whether his name is even Mike. As violent memories of another life interfere with everything good about Amorea and Mike loses hold on his identity, he will do whatever he can to keep Sean from the darkness that is coming. Nothing here is perfect, but there is someone worth saving. Perfect for fans of Severance, The Twilight Zone, and Stephen King, as well as queer romance.
