âKraus gets under your skin with brutal, elegant efficiency. Necessarily horrifying, devastatingly timely.ââKiersten White, New York Times-bestselling author of The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein and Slayer
From New York Times-bestselling author Daniel Kraus comes a breakneck, genre-defying YA thriller perfect for fans of Kiersten White, Neal Shusterman, and M. T. Anderson.
Liv Flemingâs father went missing more than two years ago, not long after he claimed to have been abducted by aliens. Liv has long accepted that heâs dead, though that doesnât mean she has given up their traditions. Every Sunday, she and her lifelong friend Doug Monk trudge through the woods to check the traps Lee left behind, traps he set to catch the aliens he so desperately believed were after him.
But Liv is done with childhood fantasies. Done pretending she believes her fatherâs absurd theories. Done going through the motions for Dougâs sake. However, on the very day she chooses to destroy the traps, she discovers in one of them a creature so inhuman it can only be one thing. In that moment, sheâs faced with a painful realization: her dad was telling the truth. And no one believed him.
Now, she and Doug have a choice to make. They can turn the alien over to the authoritiesâ¦or they can take matters into their own hands.
On the heels of the worldwide success of The Shape of Water, Daniel Kraus returns with a horrifying and heartbreaking thriller about the lengths people go to find justice and the painful reality of grief.
âBent Heavens is the darkest, angriest alien horror story that I've ever encountered. Hell. Yes.ââStephanie Perkins, New York Times-bestselling author of There's Someone Inside Your House
