My young adult novel, Bones & All, won an Alex Award from YALSA and the American Library Association in 2016 (thank you, librarians!!) This little teen-cannibal road trip novel has been adapted into a film directed by Luca Guadagnino and starring Taylor Russell, Timothée Chalamet, Mark Rylance, and a bunch more stunningly talented actors. I'm the author of three fantasy novels for adults- Immaculate Heart, Mary Modern, and Petty Magic. Love may come in many shapes and sizes, but for Maren, it always ends the same-with her hiding the evidence and her mother packing up the car.īut when her mother abandons her the day after her sixteenth birthday, Maren goes looking for the father she has never known, and finds much more than she bargained for along the way.įaced with a world of fellow eaters, potential enemies, and the prospect of love, Maren realizes she isn't only looking for her father, she's looking for herself. Ever since her mother found Penny Wilson's eardrum in her mouth when Maren was just two years old, she knew life would never be normal for either of them. She didn't choose to be this way.īecause Maren Yearly doesn't just break hearts, she devours them. She hates herself for the bad thing she does, for what it's done to her family and her sense of identity for how it dictates her place in the world and how people see her-how they judge her. But her secret, shameful needs have forced her into exile. She wants to be someone people admire and respect. Maren Yearly is a young woman who wants the same things we all do. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Taylor Russell and Timothée Chalamet! Camille DeAngelis' Bones & All is an astonishingly original coming-of-age tale that is at once a gorgeously written horror story as well as a mesmerizing meditation on female power and sexuality.
