A razor-sharp, breathlessly harrowing novel of siblings, the nightmares that haunt us, and the deep, powerful love that can tie a family together, perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix, Isabel Canas and T. Kingfisher.

Twenty-five-year-old Calla Williams is struggling since becoming guardian to her brother, Jamie. Calla is overwhelmed and tired of being the one who makes sacrifices to keep the family together. Jamie, full of good-natured sixteen-year-old recklessness, is usually off fighting for what matters to him or getting into mischief, often at the same time. Dre, their brother, promised he would help raise Jamie-but now the ink is dry on the paperwork and in classic middle-child fashion, he's off doing his own thing. And through it all, The Nightmare never stops haunting Calla: recurring images of her brothers dying that she is powerless to stop.

When Jamie's actions at a protest spiral out of control, the siblings must go on the run. Taking refuge in a remote cabin that looks like it belongs on a slasher movie poster rather than on an Airbnb listing, the siblings now face a new threat where their lives-and reality-hang in the balance. Their sister always warned them about her nightmares. They really should have listened.

 
 

Review

Listen to Your Sister is a brilliant fever-dream of a novel that effortlessly dances between horror, literary, and family saga-sure to appeal to fans of a diverse mix of authors: Grady Hendrix, Tananarive Due, Mona Awad, and Stephen King. A vivid and lyrical exploration of traumas that are both ghastly and achingly relatable, this debut dives unflinchingly deep into the aching, Sisyphean tragedy of trying to save loved ones from the systems of oppression that bind us all-and cements Viel's permanent place on my bookshelf.
--Maria Dong, author of Liar, Dreamer, Thief

Viel faces the dark side of family head on, painting a fever dream of the nightmarish obligations of love.
--Maggie Thrash, author of Rainbow Black
