Claire Schultz
April Harker lives a small life in a small Massachusetts town, with small sums for the fairy stories she sells and small pleasures since her parents lost all their money in the 1929 crash. Until the day Julius Thackeray arrives. A man with an unsettling blue-black beard and excess wealth, Thackeray promises to marry April. To take her to his estate outside Boston, make her stories famous, show her the world.
But April should know from her fairy stories that a man promising the world on one’s doorstep is too good to be believed. Thornwood House is a sprawling mansion in the middle of nowhere, with hallways that lead different places on different days and silent-footed servants keeping house. And someone—something—else. Spectral presences who leave lipstick-stained teacups in the library and drop the temperature in empty halls. Who haunt her nightmares. Who know the truth of Thornwood House.
April is drawn to one of these ghosts, a mysterious specter named Marie, and begins to find comfort in her presence. But when Thackeray entrusts April with the keys to a seemingly infinite number of rooms, the horrifying secrets at the heart of Thornwood House come to light. Trapped in a cycle of violence, April and Marie must escape their house of horrors—together or not at all.

"Claire Schultz is the heir apparent to Angela Carter. Even Your Bones Will Do positions her alongside other contemporary fairytale fabulists as Lauren Beukes and Carmen Maria Machado. Her prose reverberates with a rage unlike any other. You'll hear it echoing long after you finish reading." - Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Mr. Lonelyhearts
"Even Your Bones Would Do is a decadently beautiful sapphic gothic feast. This rich Bluebeard retelling will haunt you to your marrow." - L.R. Lam, Sunday Times bestselling author of Dragonfall & Pantomime
“Part ghost story and part love story, Schultz’s gorgeously gothic, fairy-tale confection lovingly pays homage to its predecessors, including Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, though this sentient house could give Manderley an inferiority complex. A brilliantly clever and uncanny tale.” - Booklist (starred review)
"From the first page, I was rooting for April Harker, who is both self-assured and smart. In Even Your Bones Would Do Claire Schultz reinvents the Bluebeard myth and wrestles with the power dynamics of class, gender, and queerness in 1930s Boston. This is a lush and atmospheric novel with as much heart and soul as hauntings and horror." - Katalina Watt, Sunday Times bestselling author of Saltswept
"Not only has Schultz crafted a stunningly haunting reimagining of the Bluebeard story – she's set it ablaze with a tender sapphic romance. A blood-soaked fairytale with a glowing heart, April Harker is your new favourite gothic final girl." - Courtney Smyth, author of The Undetectables series
"Even Your Bones Would Do strips the folktale of Bluebeard back to its viscera and shows us its beating, bleeding heart: the wives and their stories. Beautifully written and gorgeously gothic, it's a revenge tale and sapphic love story all in one." - MK Hardy, author of The Needfire
