Synopsis "We Shall Be Monsters"

A girl marked for death ventures into the wooded realm of the fairies to rescue her mother in this dark, lyrical fantasy about vengeful witches, beastly fathers, and the stories mothers tell to keep their daughters safe--from the author of Nocturne. Gemma Cassata lives with her mother in an isolated antiques shop in Michigan, near a seductive patch of woods concealing an enchanted gateway to fairyland. Gemma knows she's not supposed to go into the woods--her mother, Virginia, has warned her multiple times about the monsters that lurk there--and yet she can't resist. Virginia understands her daughter's defiance. She knows the allure of the woods all too well. Her own mother warned her about the monsters, and Virginia also did not listen--until a witch cursed her true love just days before their child's birth. So Virginia will do whatever she can to protect her daughter--even if it means stealing Gemma's memories. But everything changes when Gemma gets too close to the truth, and the witch takes Virginia . Now it is up to Gemma to venture deep into the mysterious woods to rescue her mother and break the curse. Told in the alternating viewpoints of Gemma and Virginia, this novel is not only a tale of a girl's fantastical quest through a darkly magical fairyland but also an exploration of the complex bonds between children and their parents.

Alyssa Wees es una autora contemporánea de literatura fantástica conocida por su prosa evocadora y lírica. Ha escrito varias novelas notables, incluyendo The Waking Forest (2019), Nocturne (2023) y We Shall Be Monsters (2024), cada una explorando mundos oníricos poblados por elementos mágicos, danza y una fuerte atmósfera emocional.

Desde niña, Alyssa se inspiraba escribiendo historias protagonizadas por sus Beanie Babies. Este impulso creativo la llevó a obtener una licenciatura en inglés y posteriormente una maestría en escritura de ficción, lo que preparó sólidamente su camino literario. Actualmente trabaja como asistente de biblioteca enfocada en servicios juveniles y reside con su esposo y dos gatos en el área de Chicago.

The Waking Forest presenta una protagonista con visiones de un bosque misterioso que nadie más percibe, mientras que Nocturne, ambientado en el Chicago de la Depresión, sigue a una bailarina atrapada entre sueños y realidades, con un estilo que ha sido comparado con mitos clásicos. Su más reciente obra, We Shall Be Monsters, combina fantasía oscura y elementos folclóricos para narrar una búsqueda maternal entre mundos mágicos.

Alyssa Wees destaca por entretejer en sus historias temas como la identidad, el arte, y lo fantástico, con una escritura atmosférica y profundamente emocional.
