I have a nomination too! The Bone Mother
Three neighboring villages on the Ukrainian/Romanian border are the final refuge for the last of the mythical creatures of Eastern Europe. Now, on the eve of the war that may eradicate their kind—and with the ruthless Night Police descending upon their sanctuary—they tell their stories and confront their destinies.
Eerie and unsettling like the best fairy tales, these incisor-sharp portraits of ghosts, witches, sirens, and seers—and the mortals who live at their side and in their thrall—will chill your marrow and tear at your heart.
I find that for horror I can really only do short stories or novellas before I get bored or find my suspension of beliefs broken, so this one has been on my to read list for a long time.

A few reminders about nomination rules:
- Each member may nominate one book AND may second one book that has already been nominated.
-If you want to only nominate or only second a book without nominating anything that is fine.
- If we get more than 10 nominations then the 10 books with the most seconds will go to the poll.
- There are no minimum page counts for a book to be nominated.
- Books must be first in a series or a stand alone unless the group has already read the book in the series that came before the one being nominated.
- Nominations will close the afternoon of September 15th
