Ashley Winstead Books

From TikTok sensation Ashley Winstead comes a gripping thriller for fans of Verity and A Flicker in the Dark. In her small hometown, librarian Ruth Cornier has always felt like an outsider, overshadowed by her father's fire-and-brimstone sermons at Holy Fire Baptist. The townspeople’s greatest fears lie not just in God and the Devil but in local myths, particularly the tale of the Low Man, a vampiric figure rumored to prey on sinners during moonless nights. When a skull is discovered in the swamp alongside mysterious carved symbols, Bottom Springs erupts in chaos. Ruth realizes that only she and Everett, an old friend with a troubled past, can delve into the town's hidden darkness to confront true evil. This dark and powerful narrative examines how we seek love, religion, and stories for salvation, the lengths we go to reclaim our power, and the monstrous challenges of being a girl in today's world. With comparisons to Where The Crawdads Sing, Twilight, and Thelma and Louise, this brilliantly crafted and original thriller is an unputdownable read that will leave you captivated.
