Staff Pick Details
[Kelly] Creepy in a, can’t look away, kind of way. Wholly engrossing, if at times confusing. And so so weird - but in the best way.
Follow Me to Ground feels like the type of book that could be read multiple times and still have secrets to spill - which is super impressive given it’s under 200 pages long. The mythology felt intricate and fresh, but also accessible - easily transposed over what otherwise could read as a general fiction story.
If you don’t need all the answers and can appreciate a slow-burn, subtle-yet-terrifying horror story, I’d give this one a shot!
Book Summary
A haunted, surreal debut novel about an otherworldly young woman, her father, and her lover that culminates in a shocking moment of betrayal - one that upends our understanding of power, predation, and agency.
Ada and her father, touched by the power to heal illness, live on the edge of a village where they help sick locals—or “Cures”—by cracking open their damaged bodies or temporarily burying them in the reviving, dangerous Ground nearby. Ada, a being both more and less than human, is mostly uninterested in the Cures, until she meets a man named Samson. When they strike up an affair, to the displeasure of her father and Samson’s widowed, pregnant sister, Ada is torn between her old way of life and new possibilities with her lover—and eventually comes to a decision that will forever change Samson, the town, and the Ground itself.
