Dead girls don't dream
by Nino Cipri
There are ghosts in the woods…but they’re not the worst things out there.
Their mother, who struggled with addiction, has skipped town, so 17-year-old Riley Walcott lives on the edge of Voynich Woods with her 10-year-old sister, Sam, and their uncle. Uncle Toby makes a living giving tours of the woods to tourists who are morbidly interested in the many people who have disappeared there. One day, Sam wanders off during a tour, looking for the Wishing Tree, another one of the woods’ mysteries. Riley follows to keep an eye on her but ends up getting lost herself. She stumbles across the elusive Wishing Tree—and is promptly murdered by people in masks. Shortly after, Madelyn, who lives in the woods with her abusive witch mother, revives Riley with her own magic. But—at Riley’s own invitation—something attached itself to her before she came back to life. As events bring the two girls closer together, they each seek an escape—Riley from being another Voynich Woods mystery and Madelyn from her power-hungry mother. Cipri’s young adult debut is a coming-of-age tale that’s dripping with dark magic, steeped in mother-child trauma, and brimming with feminine power.

by Lee, Wen-Yi

So, Isa took off before the town could swallow her, too. Even though it meant leaving everything she knew behind, including her last surviving friend, Mason. When Isa's abusive father dies, however, she agrees to come back from art school just long enough to collect the inheritance. But then Mason turns up at the cemetery with a revelation and a plea: their friends were murdered by an evil that haunts the town, and he needs Isa to help stop it--before it takes anyone else. When Isa begins to hear strange songs on the wind, andeerie artwork fills her sketchbook that she can't recall drawing, she's forced to stop running and confront her past. Because something is waiting in the shadows of Slater's valleys, something that feeds on the pain and heartbreak of its children. Whatever it is, it knows Isa's back... and it won't let her escape again"
