VICTORIA "V. E." SCHWAB is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty books. Schwab's series and standalone titles for readers of all ages have made her a major literary figure, whose notable works include the Villains series, the Shades of Magic universe, and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. When not haunting Paris streets or writing in the corner of her favorite coffee shop, she lives in Edinburgh, Scotland.

"Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil crosses centuries, continents, and cultures to tell the story of three women.... whose afterlives are not what they expected. Vampire fiction the way it should be done, and a compellingly dark companion to the more life-affirming Addie LaRue." -- Paste Magazine

"Schwab delicately intertwines the three storylines, which are compelling individually even before the reader knows how they will connect.....A beautiful meditation on queer identity against a supernatural backdrop." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred)

"Schwab's fantasies are always a big draw, and this enticing tale of lesbian vampires that crosses centuries [is] irresistible." -- Booklist

"Schwab's haunting prose and character-driven plot will keep readers up until the very last page." -- Library Journal (starred)
