A sweet sapphic romance takes a deadly dark turn in this sharp-as-a-knife novella from the New York Times bestselling author.Rosemary meets Ash at the farmers’ market. Ash—precise, pretty, and practically perfect—sells bars of soap in delicate pastel colors, sprinkle-spackled cupcakes stacked on scalloped stands, beeswax candles, jelly jars of honey, and glossy green plants. Ro has never felt this way about another woman; with Ash, she wants to be her and have her in equal measure. But as her obsession with Ash consumes her, she may find she’s not the one doing the devouring…
the perfect recipe. Superbly seductive.” Hailey Piper, author of A Light Most Hateful
“Dawson has brought the kind of irresistible treat you’ve been hungering for. Sapphic longing with a dash of darkness
find yourself enraptured by the farmers' market aesthetic as designed by the Mads Mikkelson version of Hannibal Lecter.” Chuck Wendig, author of The Book of Accidents
“Delicate and murderous, Bloom is the perfect encapsulation of a subgenre I’d only heard of in theory but now exists in its final form: cozy horror. Delight in the berries, blood and cupcake frosting
and be reminded that magic works because of what we refuse to see, which may be the moral of all the best fairytales.” Zoje Stage, bestselling author of Baby Teeth and Mothered
“Bloom unspools like a dreamy fairytale, Instagram-ready and dripping in enchanting language. The cracks in the surface are ever-present, hinting at the danger beneath, but in Delilah S. Dawson's hands darkness itself is as tantalizing as a richly frosted treat. Like Bloom's leading lady, readers will be seduced by this hypnotic, visceral romp
