From the New York Times bestselling author of Bloom and Guillotine comes a darkly seductive tale of beautiful rock stars, sinister cults, and a magical oasis where dreams come true... for a price.
Angelina Yves is a struggling singer/songwriter offered the chance of a lifetime to join the experimental luxury compound sponsored by the most famous band in the world, Black Idyll. With her every need accommodated, she finally has the time and space to perfect her music. Her muse? Reclusive rock star Jesper Idyll, who lives up to her every high school daydream. But this paradise has a haunted underbelly heralded by screaming horses, mysterious figures in the night, and dreams too twisted to be real. When people start to disappear and Jesper's ex turns up dead and hideously mutilated, Angelina begins to suspect that something malevolent lurks behind the cult that's grown around the band...
A disturbing, decadent and wickedly compelling tale of a Hollywood dream turned nightmare, Delilah S. Dawson’s darkly delicious prose will seduce you, tie you up, and never let you go….
Delilah S. Dawson is the New York Times-bestselling and Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of It Will Only Hurt For A Moment, Bloom, The Violence, Mine, Camp Scare, the Blud series, the Hit series, Servants of the Storm, Midnight at the Houdini, several Star Wars books, and the Shadow series, written as Lila Bowen. As a child, she cleaned offices alongside her parents’ janitorial service and once ate day-old birthday cake out of a bank’s kitchen trash, so that’s who you’re dealing with.

“Fast, fun, and frightening, Glass Onion meets Saw in this savagely on-point thriller.” T. Kingfisher
“Deliciously brutal and stiletto sharp. Guillotine is the eat-the-rich horror you’ve been waiting for.” Rory Power
"A slim novel with incredible potency. A literary pursuit for the ages. I can't recall a courtship as captivating as the one in these pages, and if there's a better writer than Delilah Dawson going today, I don't know 'em." Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and Spin a Black Yarn
“A cottagecore dream turned nightmare, astonishing in its beauty and violence. Every page drips with delicious dread. This bite-sized tale is perfectly wicked.” Rachel Harrison, author of Black Sheep and So Thirsty
“Sensual, smart, biting, and downright nasty, Bloom is a dizzying, heady feast for the discerning palate. I devoured this book in one greedy sitting.” Paul Tremblay, author of The Pallbearers Club and Horror Movie
“Sumptuous, lyrical prose meets horrific brutality in Delilah S. Dawson’s harrowing tale of obsession and cruelty. An elegantly written nightmare, Bloom will beguile unsuspecting readers before finally slicing deep and drawing blood.” Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
