She escaped the well once. Now, it's calling her back.
New mother Olivia Dahl should feel joy. Instead, she feels terror. Exhaustion weighs on her bones. Her daughter won't stop feeding. And in the silence between cries, Olivia hears them—the dead women. The same ones that drove her mother to the brink. Now they're calling to her. And they want her to come home.
Graveyard of Lost Children is a gothic horror novel that sinks into the marrow of postpartum fear, generational trauma, and the bone-deep dread that your baby isn't your own. In a story where motherhood becomes myth and identity unravels, Katrina Monroe delivers a haunting blend of psychological suspense and supernatural folklore.
Perfect for readers of Baby Teeth and The Invited, this atmospheric descent explores fractured family lines and the monsters that live in silence. With dual timelines and a chilling emotional core, Monroe invites readers to question what it means to protect a child—especially from yourself.
