“This dark paranormal vampire fantasy is epic! This is the best book I have ever read and I can’t wait to reread it!! There are so many wonderful quotes, wisdom and lessons from the author. With the most memorable historical setting spanning centuries and continents following 3 toxic lesbian vampires and the events of each of their lives we are encouraged to be true to ourselves no matter what anyone tells us. It was so poetic and beautiful and I am forever changed after reading the incredible book. 5 stars! ”

Reviews
"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)
