      <image:caption>A 2023 Rhode Island Teen Book Award Nominee A Junior Library Guild Selection A 2022 YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Pick ★ “Stylishly smart and macabre, the story . . . sparkle[s] with class-defying friendships and warmth. Part mystery, part thriller, and part family discovery, this is a delicious horror story from which the reader can’t look away.” —Booklist, starred review “Dark. Glittering. Dangerous. THE CORPSE QUEEN is deliciously macabre and utterly decadent. Like a well-placed scalpel, Molly’s sharp mind and cool determination in a male-dominated world will slip under your skin and snip at your heartstrings. A cinematic story cleverly plotted, and intoxicatingly addictive; I gulped it down in one, greedy drab.” -#1 NYT Bestselling Author Kerri Maniscalco “Smartly written with a decidedly dark demeanor . . . this immersive, Frankenstein-tinged novel considers misogyny, socioeconomic divides, and social norms at a specific moment in modern surgery’s beginnings.” —Publishers Weekly “The plot rockets along, greased by the rot of the dead, to a satisfying, and somewhat surprising, conclusion. If Poe’s daughter told a story, this might be it.” —Kirkus Reviews ORDER YOUR COPY</image:caption>
