A former child medium is forced to face her deadly past and the ghosts she left behind in this electrifying debut.
Alice Haserot thought she’d escaped the curse. For sixteen years, she’s lived far from her family and the ghosts she used to conjure. But her past isn’t so easily left behind.
When Alice discovers she’s pregnant and her estranged sister, Bronwyn, turns up on her doorstep, her carefully built new life begins to unravel. Bronwyn offers an ultimatum: one of her daughters is trying to possess the other, and only Alice has the power to save them. If Alice refuses, Bronwyn will go to their abusive mother and expose her location.
Forced to confront the terrors of her childhood, Alice returns home to face the inheritance of her family curse. Tautly paced and gorgeously written, Glass Girls explores the deep, complicated bonds of family and the shadows that follow us, no matter how far we run.
I cannot wait for you to read this incredible debut - it is an absolutely spellbinding take on the classic ghost story.

People -
“Danie’s earnest, spellbinding, and emotionally rich debut breathes new life into the classic ghost story. Alice is haunted not just by the specter of a life she’s trying to leave behind, but by what that trauma means for herself as an expecting mother. The real horror of Glass Girls is not supernatural—it is the fundamental fear all parents have, that we curse our children by passing our worst parts on to them, that we will become the ghosts that haunt our kids.”
Gillian Flynn, Gillian Flynn Books -
“This story tugs at the heartstrings. A tautly plotted thriller rife with magic and complicated sister dynamics that will make you want to pick up the phone and call your siblings.”
Ashley Flowers, #1 New York Times bestselling author of All Good People Here
