With a razor sharp mastery of craft, a haunting original premise and topical themes that nearly everyone can identify with in some way shape or form, Tran has created a chillingly haunting novel that will appeal to fans of anyone yearning for more bite and meat to their horror. A literary tour-de-force that should go down in history as a masterclass in atmospheric and terrifying writing.

Gorgeous, gruesome, and fiercely cathartic, They Bloom at Night is body horror with a beating heart.

Simmering with rage, longing, and danger on every page, They Bloom at Night is an unforgettable story about surviving in a world that’s abandoned you. Trang Thanh Tran has created a horrifying, mesmerizing world that’s not too far from our own, challenging us to examine who the real monsters truly are. By the end of this tense journey, readers will find themselves transformed like Noon, shedding the old version of themselves and becoming something powerful, free, and new.

A briny, rotting ode to the things we must become to survive and the things we yearn to become when the surviving is over. In elegant, atmospheric prose, Trang Thanh Tran peels back layers of salty skin and sea foam to expose the truth: even when we are wrong, even when we are monstrous, we are whole.
