Won the Shirley Jackson Award for Best Novel (2024).

Curdle Creek won the 2024 SHIRLEY JACKSON NOVEL AWARD. Osira, a forty-five-year-old widow, is an obedient follower of the strict conventions of Curdle Creek, an all-Black town in rural America governed by a tradition of ominous rituals designed to keep the residents safe. Curdle Creek has one particularly strict policy: one in, one out. And one day, it is Osira's turn. Forced into the great unknown, the sinister reality of her birthplace unravels around her. As she comes face-to-face with those she believed were lost, Osira must reckon with all she has ever been told and confront the insidious cruelties of inheritance.
