FEED ME TO THE WATER (February 2, 2027 | Sourcebooks Fire | Ages 14+) is a sweltering queer possession horror from the author of The Darkness Greeted Her, Christina Ferko

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Deep in the swamp lies a danger worse than death in this queer Southern Gothic horror story for fans of She is a Haunting, from the author of The Darkness Greeted Her! ​

​

Wracked with guilt over her best friend’s death, Madison flees to her aunt’s home in the Georgia swamplands for the summer—but the more she tries to outrun the dead, the more they haunt her.

​

Something dark and ancient calls to Madison from the maw of the swamp, something hungry. If Madison can’t put old ghosts to rest, they’ll consume her.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

CHRISTINA FERKO grew up in a family of seven girls, including her identical twin sister—who is also an author. Before writing, she dreamed of running away and joining a circus. She even learned how to eat and breathe fire but now spends her time happily writing at home instead. Christina lives in Maryland with her husband and two kids, along with her ever-growing number of animals.
