Kalynn Bayron
New York Times bestselling author Kalynn Bayron is back with a Frankenstein-tinged horror romance.
Meka is used to death. After all, it's the family business.
As a newly certified mortician’s assistant at her parents’ funeral home, her days are not for the faint of heart. Luckily her boyfriend Noah isn’t squeamish, and Meka is finally feeling ready to say the three little words that will change everything.
But then tragedy strikes, and Meka’s world is torn apart. Nothing makes sense, especially the strange things start happening. Ravens are circling her home. Strangers are following her. Someone is leaving mysterious items at her door. And worst of all . . .
The dead don’t seem to be staying dead.
Meka thought she understood death better than anyone. Turns out, the family business is a bit more complicated than it seems. And Meka isn't the only one desperate to unearth their secrets . . . because the truth may be worth dying for.©2025 Kalynn Bayron (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic reviews
Explores grief, family ties, and rebirth in this tenderhearted riff on Frankenstein. . . . Bayron presents at once grotesque and breezily matter-of-fact horror elements via luminous prose. The characters’ intensely layered relationships, as well as the tragic romance at the heart of the novel, will stick with readers long after the final page.
Strikes the perfect gothic balance between horror and romance. . . . [Incorporates] many nods to Frankenstein with humor and modern twists, creating a story entirely Bayron’s own while still rewarding fans of horror canon. . . . A definite purchase for all collections.
Bayron crafts a page-turning, atmospheric homage to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, balancing unnerving horror with tender romance. . . . Chilling yet romantic: explores the complexities of death, love, and grief.
This novel revives Frankenstein with a fresh modernity.
A creative spin on Frankenstein. . . . Fans of reanimated-dead stories will enjoy this one.
A spine-tingling camp slasher with a cast of characters you can't help but root for.
An intoxicating tale about the power of about Black motherhood and daughterhood, and family bonds that can't be broken. Like the poisonous plants Briseis tends to, This Poison Heart is mesmerizing and beautiful.
Bayron takes an old story, turns it on its head, and makes it her own with a stunning display of pacing, character, and legacy.
A wholly original and captivating story where girls finally decide for themselves who lives happily ever after.
