The Family, one of the oldest lineages of Book Eaters, have everything they need: wealth, extra-human strength, and an endless supply of fairytales to feed their daughters. Set in modern day UK, The Book Eaters is a dark and fantastical story about a family who literally consume books for sustenance and the lengths one woman will go to in order to protect her son, perfect for fans of Library at Mount Char, Vicious, and The Ten Thousand Doors of January. A unique story with a distinctive voice, The Book Eaters will take you to a far away place that seems more and more familiar the more you read. Add a dash of fantasy, and a hefty dose of topics such as tradition, motherhood, trauma, and what it means to be a monster, and you have a book on your hands that the team here at Book + Bottle are gonna LOVE. The only thing better than a book? Of course, a book ABOUT books. Great reading for a rainy morning, with tea or coffee on, a cat in your lap, and nowhere to be but lost in a delicious modern fairy tale.”-Christopher Buehlman, author of The Blacktongue Thief “Sunyi Dean’s The Book Eaters is a darkly sweet pastry of a book about family, betrayal, and the lengths we go to for the ones we love.
