Until Death,

In this fresh, darkly funny horror debut, a woman finally agrees to marry the man of her mother's dreams . . . only to discover that wedding planning eats you alive. If Ophelia Cohen learned one thing from her parents, it's that getting married is a bad idea. But if she's learning anything from her widowed mother's dementia, it's that dying alone is even worse. So when she meets Luke, the handsome heir to a local vineyard, dating him makes sense. And when he asks her to marry him, well. It's what her mother always wanted. But none of Ophelia's obsessive scrolling on wedding forums can prepare her for the nightmare of planning her own. Why is her mother-in-law so worried about every single detail, right down to the color scheme? Why does it feel like Ophelia is losing track of days, weeks, even months? Why is Luke's family so eager to host the wedding in the vineyard's ancient chapel -- and why does it feel, sometimes, like the chapel has a heartbeat? This wedding is supposed to be the thing that saves Ophelia from a lifetime of loneliness. So how is it that the more Ophelia sacrifices, the more alone she is? Shot through with wicked humor, pitch-black horror, and unexpected romance, Until Death is a deliciously dark send-up of the wedding industrial complex -- and a mother-daughter story unlike any you've read before.
