Review Quotes: "Evocative, haunting, and deeply unsettling. Hannah's salt-soaked horror debut cements her as one of the most brilliant and incisive voices in speculative fiction." -- Alexis Henderson, author of An Academy for LiarsReview Quotes: "Atmospheric and absolutely devastating, Hannah Whitten knocks it out of the park with this one! I couldn't put it down!"-- Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author Review Quotes: "Fresh, original, and absurdly propulsive, Reliquary is a feat of taut plotting, eerie world-building, and incisive commentary on the dark underbelly of power and privilege. The spectral slice of flawed and complex romance had me gnawing at the bars of my enclosure. Whitten is surely one of the most exciting new voices in horror."-- Laura "L.K." Steven, #1 NYT bestselling author of Our Infinite Fates and Silvercloak Review Quotes: "Whitten has assembled all the essentials for a gothic novel. There's an isolated and endangered heroine. There are family secrets that won't stay hidden. And the setting is the perfect blend of the sublime and the uncanny." -- KirkusReview Quotes: "A novel for not just fans of sea-soaked dark fantasy and horror but also for readers of gothics with immersive settings and intense dread, like Mexican Gothic (2020), by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and tales of the monsters behind the business success of the uber rich, like Fiend (2025), by Alma Katsu." -- BooklistPublisher Marketing: A young woman is lured to her late fiancé's remote island estate--only to uncover eerie family secrets, a haunting past, and a monstrous hunger stirring beneath the sea in this deliciously atmospheric horror debut from New York Times bestselling author Hannah Whitten. When Claire's fiancé mysteriously dies of an unknown neurological illness, she's prepared to sink back into the lonely life she lived before. Orphaned by a freak boating accident in her childhood, she never expected to find connection like she did with Elias, anyway. Their relationship wasn't perfect--his coldness, his secrets, his strange aversion to the ocean--but what relationship is? When Elias's family reaches out--his incredibly wealthy family, from whom he was estranged--and invites Claire to a three-day wake at Harrow Point, their family home on a private island, Claire is given the chance to find family again. To belong to something, just like she's always wanted. Just like Elias knew she was desperate to have. Even if that family is a little strange. Even if their coastal home stirs up memories of the accident that killed her parents and sister. Even if Ash, Elias's older brother, seems insistent on Claire leaving as soon as possible. As she dives deeper into the world of Harrow Point, she will uncover the nature of her own traumatic connection to the ocean. There is something swimming in the bowels of Harrow Point, and it is hungry... Review Citations:
