What to expect
From New York Times bestselling author Kalynn Bayron comes a new horror novel about a group of teens with unique—and potentially deadly—gifts.
Moll, Redd, Agnes, and Ossie are powerful—and dangerous. But they don’t want people to fear them. They’ve spent their lives trying to understand and control their supernatural gifts, trying to help people instead of hurt them.
That’s why they offer paranormal investigative services to anyone who needs them. But when the case of a missing young woman brings them to an old (and potentially haunted) Victorian mansion, soon it’s the four teens who are in the greatest danger. The secrets they uncover about the paranormal forces inhabiting the house may shed light on the darkness that exists at the edge of their powers and finally help them gain control—if they can make it out alive.

Critics Review
-
A supremely satisfying supernatural mystery packed with ghost-hunting, ectoplasm-conjuring, secret societies, and likeable teens (who are also supernatural). Enjoyable not just for its heart and thrills, but the amount of authentic spiritualist lore it pulls into its twisty narrative.
Adam Cesare, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD and BLOODSICK
-
Deliciously creepy in the very best way, Tell the Ghosts I'm Gone is everything my weird younger self would love. This complex story of a supernatural found family, powers that leap off the page, ghosts with real bite, eerie disappearances, and ancestral secrets from beyond are woven together masterfully. It left my heart racing, haunting me long after I turned the last page.
Jamison Shea, author of I FEED HER TO THE BEAST AND THE BEAST IS ME
-
The jaw-clenching supernatural horror I’ve been hungry for. To any kid who has felt too strange, too monstrous, or too much to handle: this book is for you.
Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of Compound Fracture and Hell Followed with Us
-
Fast-paced, twisty, creepy, and full of heart, this haunting mystery further proves that Bayron knows exactly how to write horror that lingers, making this a must-have for fans of her captivating stories, as well as fans of the horror and mystery genres.
