It’s autumn in the town of Harrow, but something besides the season is changing there. Because in that town there is an orchard, and in that orchard, seven most unusual trees. And from those trees grows a new sort of apple: strange, beautiful, with skin so red it’s nearly black. Take a bite of one of these apples, and you will desire only to devour another. And another. You will become stronger. More vital. More yourself, you will believe. But then your appetite for the apples and their peculiar gifts will keep growing—and become darker.

"Enchanting, exquisite and dark...a new horrifying fairy tale..." -Cynthia Pelayo, author of Crime Scene

“This will undoubtedly be heralded as one of the finest horror novels of the twenty-first century.” -Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
