The Bone Houses

by Emily Lloyd-Jones

Our rating

Spice 0/5 Darkness 3/5

Spice: none. Darkness: dark.

In Ryn's village the dead get up at night and walk out of the forest. She's a gravedigger, so it's bad for business. A Welsh-myth road trip with a mapmaker and an undead goat. Creepy, sad and lighter than it sounds.
