Funerals Are for the Living

July 21

Illustrated cover for Funerals Are For the Living by Sami Ellis. Two teenage girls peer down into an open grave while the full moon looms over them in a purple sky. The white girl appears to be just standing there, but the Black girl is reaching down to the person who is in the grave--apparently another Black girl, who has a red manicure and dark cracks through the skin on the back of her hand and into her wrist, like she is in the process of falling apart or decaying.

A month ago, Junie Daniels was in a car crash that left her with a dead sister, fragmented memories of the accident, and a mother too checked-out to plan a funeral. The cheapest grave plot Junie can find is in the next town over. Sure, Williamsville is still proudly named after a slave master who was rumored to dabble in dark magic—but this North Carolina, after all.

When unexplained occurrences start happening at the graveyard, though, Junie and her best friend, Omari, investigate. And it’s not long before Junie and Omari are taken…

Williamsville wants both Daniels girls. But Junie will do anything to protect her sister—even if it’s only her corpse.
