📝 Description: All the Hearts You Eat

Hailey Piper delivers a gothic horror narrative centered on Cape Morning, a coastal community steeped in local folklore. The story follows Ivory, whose life shifts after she finds the body of Cabrina Brite on the sands alongside a mysterious poem. This discovery raises urgent questions about Cabrina’s death and her apparent attempt to swim toward Ghost Cat Island, a location tied to numerous regional secrets. As Ivory investigates, she begins to see Cabrina’s pale ghost. Initially dismissing the vision as a hallucination, she soon learns that Cabrina’s closest friends have witnessed similar apparitions. Together, they explore occult possibilities to unravel the truth. The narrative reveals that Cape Morning is not merely a town but a place filled with ghosts. The story examines the weight of local mysteries and the lingering presence of those who have passed. Piper, known for her Bram Stoker Award-winning work Queen of Teeth, constructs a visceral tale about the things we leave behind. This book suits readers interested in supernatural fiction and small-town dramas. It may not appeal to those seeking fast-paced action or non-fiction historical accounts.
