Rachel Kitch
A speculative horror-romance that combines the magical dark academia of The Atlas Six, the unsettling atmosphere of Mexican Gothic, and the psychosexual power dynamics of The Last Housewife.
Saige Chambers, Arcane Bioengineering student and blood witch, is constantly anxious and chronically over-prepared. When Saige and her fellow witch doctoral candidates depart for a conference, she plans and anticipates every last detail. Except she’s not prepared for the moment their bus turns off the highway and takes them to a remote mansion in the Appalachian Mountains, the gates sealing shut behind them.
The mansion’s owner, Arius Medea, issues a simple mandate: fix his injured, rotting leg or die. But it’s no ordinary injury—the flesh melts off the bone, emitting waves of foul magic that set Saige’s blood alight. Saige’s colleagues want to fight back and escape. Saige thinks their best chance is to fix him fast and get out.
As tensions rise, Saige finds herself growing closer to Vaishnavi Sri, a poison witch and Saige’s long-term crush. But first impressions can be misleading, and as Saige’s reluctant attraction to Arius grows, she begins to wonder if there’s a better life waiting for her in the walls of this mansion.
But, as one by one, Saige's colleagues start to disappear, Saige realizes that dying may not be the worst option—because there are far worse fates lurking in the woods.
批評家のレビュー
“An eerie Appalachian Gothic stitched together from blood magic, the medical-industrial complex, and dark, swirling obsession. This horror debut really, truly understands the mountains.”
—Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of Hell Followed With Us and You Weren't Meant to Be Human“The Forest Bleeds is big pharma folk horror, a prescription written in a grimoire, an alchemical blend of dark academia and fantasy that bleeds over every page. Whatever Rachel Kitch writes, you better believe I'll be worshipping it.”
—Clay McLeod Chapman, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Shiny Happy People, Acquired Taste, and Ghost Eaters“The Forest Bleeds is a perfect debut. It's compelling as fuck, cool as hell, and character-driven in a uniquely fascinating way. I'm blown away by Kitch's storytelling and her world. Go into it blind if you can because WOW! This is the epic, dark academia/fantasy thriller I didn't know I needed right now.”
—Sam Rebelein, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Galloway’s Gospel"Clever girls... A dark alchemical blend of cryptids and STEM, The Forest Bleeds is a bloody brilliant debut. Rachel Kitch doesn’t just taunt us with whispered seductions and tales of Appalachian folklore and blood magic; she masterfully rips away masks of competency perfected by people pleasers, exposing our intrusive thoughts and insecurities to leave us raw and vulnerable. Please excuse me while I go take a cold shower and make an extra therapy appointment.”
—Tanya Pell, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of This B Just Won't Die! and Her Wicked Roots"Ultimately, having read quite a few dark academia novels this year, I would say that this novel is one of the only works in this controversial sub-genre that I actually really enjoyed. I felt that it added something new to the conversation with its setting, its usage of STEM-related horror magic, and its meaningfully nuanced representation of race and class politics."
—The Lesbrary“The Forest Bleeds hooked its claws into me from page one and has lived in my brain ever since. With fantastically twisted science and magic, Kitch distorts familiar cryptids into delightfully disturbing monsters, using isolated settings and lurking villains to trap the reader right alongside the characters. I picked it up and couldn't put it down until I was finished.”
—Grace Viall, author of (Mostly) Human Resources
