"Say Yes to the Dress meets Rosemary's Baby" in this "perfectly disorienting and disarmingly funny" horror debut, in which a woman finally agrees to marry the man of her mother's dreams...only to discover that wedding planning will eat you alive (Margie Sarsfield, author of Beta Vulgaris). 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 worse. So when she meets Luke, the man of her mother's dreams, dating him makes sense. And when he asks her to marry him, well. It's what her mother 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 going crazy over every detail--guest lists, caterers, color schemes? How is Ophelia losing track of so much time? Why is Luke's family so eager to host the wedding in their vineyard's ancient chapel? And what exactly will Ophelia have to sacrifice if she and her mother both hope to survive her special day? Shot through with wicked humor, pitch-black horror, and unexpected romance, Until Death is a deliciously dark and funny send-up of the wedding industrial complex--and a mother-daughter story unlike any you've read before. "Recognizes the Gothic horror inherent to planning a wedding and creates from it a painfully incisive and genuinely haunting fever dream." --Kay Chronister, author of The Bog Wife "Completely unique, deeply unnerving, and deviously funny." --Samantha Allen, author of Patricia Wants to Cuddle "Grabbed me like a creeping vine and wouldn't let go." --Kerry Cullen, author of House of Beth "Glistens with humor and horror. An electrifying and affecting debut." --Samantha Hunt, author of The Seas
