The Place Where They Buried Your Heart

The Place Where They Buried Your Heart is an ode to all facets of a haunted house tale. Henry masterfully layers childhood nostalgia and complex family relationships with genuine chills and eerie thrills. I was equal parts moved and terrified. Read this under the covers with a very strong flashlight!
-Erin A. Craig,number one New York Times bestselling author of The Thirteenth Child

The Place Where They Buried Your Heart is a cosmic blast of haunted house horror in which Christina Henry explores the complex bonds of families-both the ones we lose and the ones we gain-and how those relationships can be found in the most unexpected of places. It’s a story about monsters, and murder, and loss, but it’s also a story about the ferocity of love, and the improbable ways it can capture our hearts.
-Philip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley

An excellent, original haunted house story, but its truly unsettling magic is the way it delves into the ability of the past to haunt an entire neighborhood, across generations.
-Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Birds and Road of Bones

Praise for Christina Henry

After reading The House That Horror Built, I brought the terror into my own home and now it won’t leave. Christina Henry has me questioning every creak, every warping floorboard, every stray sound around my house and now I can’t sleep at night. There’s something in the walls of this novel and it watches you while you read.
-Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters

A delicious exploration into the monsters we idolize and the monsters we create. The House That Horror Built will leave readers wondering what lies behind the mask of their beloved horror auteurs.
-Carissa Orlando, author of The September House

A true page-turner Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World

Henry’s storytelling is her own sort of witchcraft.
-Christopher Golden, author of The House of Last Resort

Hair-raising, heart-stopping suspense from start to finish. A perfect nightmare of a novel.
-Rachel Harrison, author of Play Nice

For years now Christina Henry has been showing us the cracks in the world, and the magic passing through. Now she leads us not to a large crack, but to four hairline tears. I followed her down each of them, and I got lost, and wished I’d never find my way back Francesco Dimitri

It’s full of magic and passion and courage, set against a convincing historical backdrop… Henry’s spare, muscular prose is a delight. I loved this novel Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches

Hugely creepy and brilliantly inventive.
-Heat

This enchanting story keeps you absorbed to the very end.
