Overview

  • The novel charts the transformation of three women—Alice, Charlotte and Sabine—into vampires over a 500-year span.
  • Schwab infused the story with elements from her own coming-out experience to portray unapologetically complex queer women.
  • Addie LaRue appears in a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo that cements the connection to Schwab’s Garden universe.
  • Where Addie LaRue embraced themes of hope, Bury Our Bones emphasizes hunger and rage as acts of liberation.
  • Schwab is developing the novel for television while also advancing adaptations of Addie LaRue for Lionsgate and A Darker Shade of Magic for TV.
