From New York Times bestselling author Kalynn Bayron comes a new horror novel about a group of teens with unique—and potentially deadly—gifts.

Moll, Redd, Agnes, and Ossie are powerful—and dangerous. But they don’t want people to fear them. They’ve spent their lives trying to understand and control their supernatural gifts, trying to help people instead of hurt them.

That’s why they offer paranormal investigative services to anyone who needs them. But when the case of a missing young woman brings them to an old (and potentially haunted) Victorian mansion, soon it’s the four teens who are in the greatest danger. The secrets they uncover about the paranormal forces inhabiting the house may shed light on the darkness that exists at the edge of their powers and finally help them gain control—if they can make it out alive.

Critic reviews

A supremely satisfying supernatural mystery packed with ghost-hunting, ectoplasm-conjuring, secret societies, and likeable teens (who are also supernatural). Enjoyable not just for its heart and thrills, but the amount of authentic spiritualist lore it pulls into its twisty narrative.
Deliciously creepy in the very best way, Tell the Ghosts I'm Gone is everything my weird younger self would love. This complex story of a supernatural found family, powers that leap off the page, ghosts with real bite, eerie disappearances, and ancestral secrets from beyond are woven together masterfully. It left my heart racing, haunting me long after I turned the last page.
The jaw-clenching supernatural horror I’ve been hungry for. To any kid who has felt too strange, too monstrous, or too much to handle: this book is for you.
A heartfelt supernatural mystery that delivers equal parts suspense and atmospheric chills.
This riveting and delightfully sinister tale pairs monster-hunting excitement with astute explorations of power and control.
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.
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.
Delightfully creepy. . . . Plan to read You’re Not Supposed to Die Tonight under a blanket with a flashlight, but only if you’re willing to stay up late. As horror fans know, there’s always one last twist at the end.
Bayron’s abundant use of familiar twists and turns draw on the genre’s classic predecessors to craft a gory and darkly funny read that is sure to satisfy slasher fans.
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.
