'Intense original and wonderfully unpredictable . . . Model Home is a story of a haunted
house and haunted people profound family secrets lie at the heart of this book as well as
surprisingly blessedly meaningful touches of love and hope. Rivers Solomon is an
astonishingly talented writer.' Victor LaValle author of Lone Women 'A startling
reimagination of the haunted-house genre. The twists and turns are carefully drawn with the
tension mounting toward a shocking end . . . With this exhilarating and unforgettable work
Solomon proves to be a formidable writer.' Kirkus 'Moving. Gnawing. Alive. Complete with
claws and a heart and lungs in it . . . its genius does not even for the sake of mercy
relent.' Eloghosa Osunde author of Vagabonds! ---------- Two bodies lie in the garden of
a sprawling property in Oak Creek Estate a wealthy gated community in Dallas Texas. The
bodies belong to the parents of Ezri Eve and Emmanuel who have long since abandoned the
childhood home in which their parents remained all these years. A home that has haunted and
hollowed them throughout their lives in a neighbourhood where they grew up as the only Black
family hoping to survive a place that wanted to claim them expel them and ruin them all at
once. In the wake of their parents' death Ezri and their siblings are forced to confront the
reasons they left the nightmares that have held them captive and the possibility that
realities exist beyond those that have forged them. Bold and tender Model Home is powerful
meditation on the power of memory loss and identity. Praise for Sorrowland : 'A
wonderland of fantastical and frightening magical and real.' Marlon James 'A fantastical
fierce reckoning... Sorrowland is gorgeous.' Roxanne Gay 'Dark magical and incredibly
satisfying.' Independent 'An exhilarating journey to the outer limits of science fiction.'
