House of Cotton: A Novel
Monica Brashears
An enchanting Black Southern gothic debut, perfect for readers of Mexican Gothic... "Fresh, haunting... In her roller-coaster ride of a gothic debut novel, Monica Brashears upends expectations at every turn." -The New York Times
"Every page, every scene, every sentence of Monica Brashears's debut novel House of Cotton dazzles and surprises. An intense, enthralling, and deeply satisfying read!" -Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies
"A new, dazzling, and essential American voice." -George Saunders, author of Lincoln in the Bardo
Magnolia Brown is nineteen years old, broke, and effectively an orphan.
She feels stuck and haunted: by her overdrawn bank account, her predatory landlord, and the ghost of her late grandmother Mama Brown.
One night, while working at her dead-end gas station job, a mysterious, slick stranger named Cotton walks in and offers to turn Magnolia's luck around with a lucrative "modeling" job at his family's funeral home where she'll impersonate the dead. There's a lucrative fee involved and she accepts. But despite things looking up, Magnolia's problems fatten along with her wallet.
And when Cotton's requests become increasingly demanding, Magnolia discovers there's a lot more at stake than just her rent.
Sharp as a belted knife, this sly and haunting social commentary cuts straight to the bone. "Brashears offers a fresh new perspective on Appalachia and the American South, and Magnolia's rich voice will echo with readers long after the pages are closed" (Shelf Awareness).
