Maria Tureaud is an editor and acclaimed author of middle grade and adult fiction. Born and raised in County Clare on the west coast of Ireland, she now lives with her husband and son in New Jersey.
Her new novel is This House Will Feed, which Hester Fox called "both a luscious Gothic, as well a poignant examination of the nature of loss and collective memory in a time of unspeakable horrors," and Paulette Kennedy praised as a "gripping, multilayered tale of vengeance set against the backdrop of one of the worst genocides in human history."
Recently I asked Tureaud about what she was reading. The author's reply:
Since Gothic horror is having a “moment,” I’m delighted to have so many amazing titles to choose from. My current read is The Hunger We Pass Down,Visit Maria Tureaud's website.by Jen Sookfong Lee. It’s a vivid, raw, and emotional Gothic that weaves the lives of three generations together in a tale bathed in horror — both historical, and supernatural — to create a scathing narrative that deals with the pressure we place on our children, and the generational trauma we pass down. It’s a slow-burn with alternating timelines that culminates in quiet contemplation every time I put it down. Heavy, sad, terrifying, and relatable: sleep with a nightlight.
