Hurricane Arley left behind a flooded world and a plague of red algae that mutates the creatures lucky enough to have survived the storm. It took Nhung's dad and brother. After nearly drowning herself, Nhung hasn't been the same since. Nhung desperately wants to escape their little town of Mercy and the past that haunts her, but her mom, believing their loved ones have been reincarnated as sea creatures, mom refuses to leave. When strange disappearances start to interfere with his business, Redford, one of the few who has thrived in the apocalypse, blackmails Nhung and her mom into hunting the "monster" behind the deaths. Nhung doesn't know if she believes that there even is a monster, but her mom won't risk giving her dad and brother up to Redford, and she won't give up their boat, her only hope of escaping Mercy. Nhung must figure out how to placate Red and appease her mom, all while struggling to come to terms with the unexplainable changes to her body that started when she emerged from the floodwaters. With their signature hauntingly beautiful prose and expert ability to balance gut-wrenching horror and fierce, strong characters, Trang Thanh Tran will stun readers with They Bloom at Night.
