Fruit of the Dead

Set on a lush private island, this evocative novel reimagines the myth of Persephone and Demeter, exploring themes of addiction, power, and independence through the perspectives of two women—Cory, a young camp counselor drawn into a wealthy CEO’s world, and her mother Emer, as she races to find her. Blending myth with modern sensibilities, the story delves into complex themes of love, control, and obliteration within the context of late capitalism. With its captivating narration and darkly intense narrative, it is a haunting and unforgettable read.
