    Attention Fans of Wuthering Heights: Jill Baguchinsky has Written Your Next Obsession

    If you're obsessed with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi's Wuthering Heights, then you must read a modern retelling of Wuthering Heights - May the Dead Keep You - named one of People's best retellings of the Emily Bronte classic.

    Baguchinsky - known for her riveting queer horror books like So Witches We Became - tells the story of Catie East, who loves the redwood forest that surrounds her family’s unusual historic home, the Heights.

    She prefers being alone in the forest. People are ... complicated. But when a scientist and his son move into the estate’s cottage, planning to study the woods around them, the boy catches Catie’s eye. And when a dead woodpecker miraculously comes back to life in his precious hands ... he captures her heart. But that's when things become... even more complicated.

    A story about breaking cycles of abuse and overcoming generational trauma, May the Dead Keep You is an edge-of-your-seat read—equally horrifying, heart-wrenching, and hopeful.
