Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers.
For the last WoW post of the month, I thought I’d share an upcoming haunted house story that sounds perfectly creepy! It doesn’t come out until next May, but that doesn’t mean I can’t talk about it now…
MORMAMA is a riveting supernatural, southern gothic tale from Kit Reed. Readers of Joyce Carol Oates and James M. Cain will enjoy this unnerving tale.
Dell Duval has been living on the street since his accident. He can’t remember who he was or where he came from. All he has is a tattered note in his pocket with an address for the Ellis house, a sprawling, ancient residence in Jacksonville. He takes up residence under the house in the basement unknown to the residents upstairs. He just needs time to figure out why he’s been sent here.
In the house, Lane and her son Theo have returned to the family home—their last resort after Lane’s husband cleans out her bank account and leaves. The old house is ruled by an equally ancient trio of tyrannical aunts, who want to preserve everything. Nothing should leave the house, including Lane.
Something about the house isn’t right. Things happen to the men and boys living there. There are forces at work one of which visits Theo each night—Mormama, one mama too many.
Mormama by Kit Reed releases in May 2017 from Tor Books. It’s been a long time since I’ve read anything by Kit Reed, so I’m happy to see she has a new book out next year. I’m loving this spooky cover and wondering what the heck that glowing red light is!
Let me know what you’re waiting on:-D
Not heard of this author but this sounds kind of interesting. 🙂
She’s been writing on the horror genre for a long time, and I love that she has something new coming out:-)
I must have seen this is a newsletter or something because I know I’ve seen it before recently. I was really interested wherever it was, I just wish it came out closer to Halloween – it would be perfect. Then again, who needs Halloween to read scary books???

I can read them anytime!
This author sounds strangely familiar but I’ve never read any of her works. This one sounds thrilling though and is definitely going on my TBR. 😀

I love southern gothic. Sounds like this one will be interesting. Hope you enjoy it when you get to it!
You had me at ‘southern gothic’. Everything else was unnecessary after that simple statement. I will definitely look out for this one.

I’d not heard of this book or author but OMG. That cover is so striking. The way the title and author’s name slants down at an angle… that’s awesome. I hope you enjoy this book when you get a chance to read it!
Thanks for visiting my blog! Have a wonderful week, Tammy. =)

I stumbled upon this one earlier in the month and it caught my eye too, though the one book I’ve tried by Reed I didn’t do so hot with, so I’ll probably wait for more info before I take the plunge 🙂
