From the author of the chilling novel The Dead House comes a stunning, terrifying story about a house the shade of blood—and the two sisters trapped inside.
When Silla and Nori arrive at their aunt's home, it's immediately clear that the "blood manor" is cursed. The creaking of the house and the stillness of the woods surrounding them would be enough of a sign, but there are secrets too—the questions that Silla can't ignore: Who is the beautiful boy that's appeared from the woods? Who is the man that her little sister sees, but no one else? And why does it seem that, ever since they arrived, the trees have been creeping closer?
Filled with just as many twists and turns as The Dead House, and with achingly beautiful, chilling language that delivers haunting scenes, And The Trees Crept In is the perfect follow-up novel for master horror writer Dawn Kurtagich.

What reviewers said
"Told through a retrospective collection of found evidence surrounding the deaths of several students in a boarding school fire, Kurtagich's debut novel is deeply disturbing and fraught with emotion."
"Horror fans will delight in the grotesque poetry of this historical-feeling contemporary spine-chiller featuring a monumental twist ending. Not for the squeamish."
"Not for the faint of heart, this is a gory and grimly compelling story, made more so by the novel's visual elements."
"Horror fans will be caught by the gripping cover image, and there's plenty to scare them here, even during the second reading that the surprise ending might encourage them to undertake."
Praise for And the Trees Crept In:
* "Kurtagich's horror imagery is satisfying and affecting--her descriptions of the day-to-day decay the girls face are as rich and scary as the monstrous man who scuttles around on all fours and the teeming mud pits that are waiting in the woods. A great next read for teens who enjoy being scared."
"A fight for survival, an encroaching forest, a cursed manor, and dark secrets... Kurtagich's terrifying take wrapped my heart up and squeezed until I was as cold as the dead things haunting its pages."
