"Narrator Karen Chilton gives a riveting performance in this genre-defying masterpiece.... The echoes of Chilton's haunting and beautiful narration will reverberate long after this powerful audiobook is over." (AudioFile magazine)

A triumphant, genre-bending breakout novel from one of the boldest new voices in contemporary fiction

Vern - seven months pregnant and desperate to escape the strict religious compound where she was raised - flees for the shelter of the woods. There, she gives birth to twins, and plans to raise them far from the influence of the outside world.

But even in the forest, Vern is a hunted woman. Forced to fight back against the community that refuses to let her go, she unleashes incredible brutality far beyond what a person should be capable of, her body wracked by inexplicable and uncanny changes.

To understand her metamorphosis and to protect her small family, Vern has to face the past, and more troublingly, the future - outside the woods. Finding the truth will mean uncovering the secrets of the compound she fled but also the violent history in America that produced it.

Rivers Solomon’s Sorrowland is a genre-bending work of Gothic fiction. Here, monsters aren’t just individuals, but entire nations. It is a searing, seminal book that marks the arrival of a bold, unignorable voice in American fiction.

Featured Article: The top 100 horror books of all time


This list encompasses the full spectrum of what horror can be—campfire-worthy tales, stomach-churning gore, and incisive social commentary. The classics are accounted for, but it also spotlights more recent titles, because that’s the nature of the genre—it is as perennial as it is ever-evolving, conjuring whatever frights most haunt our collective consciousness. Each title does have one thing in common: It makes for devilishly good listening. So cut the lights and press play—if you dare.

Loved this unique story

I enjoyed this book overall, especially when the unique twist came about. However, I felt the ending came a little fast after it. I wish there would have been a little bit more to wrap it up!

Good listen with quite the twist!

This is a voice that I never get tired of listening to. Rivers Solomon’s ability to create beautiful, painful, gorgeously terrifying narratives is the best thing I’ve read in years.

Rivers Solomon continues to impress

this was my first rivers solomon novel, and i loved every minute. based on the prose and poetry, i had no idea the story was sci-fi until several chapters in. i actually looked up spoilers to figure it out, but don’t let my impatience ruin it for you. loved the pacing of the story. stick with it.

i needed to pause at a few intervals to fully digest some brilliant points. there are several quotes that i’ll be keeping for reference. the author’s understanding of humanity, the whole & the individual, is wholly sublime and distressing and accurate. the part about emotional isolation will be branded into me for a minute. the refusal to acknowledge traditional gender language too, was refreshing and shocking, even as subtle as it was. this one is chemistry altering. for real.

even as a super impatient person, the narration was beautifully paced and also truly connected with the characters. i’ll definitely be looking for more by this author and narrator.

genre bending and insanely poetic

This title was recommended to me after watching Sinners. I would definitely recommend this to any womanist race nerd who also loves sapphic or syfi stories

Powerful messaging beautiful story

An exquisite piece of cross-genre writing! I was blown away by the story. Intriguing, mysterious, mesmerising. The reading felt authentic and had a cadence that fit with the unfolding plot.

Exquisite writing

Have listened to SO many audio books with high reviews that were in fact...utter garbage. THIS novel is on another level. I would put this author in the same league with Coleson Whitehead, Maya Angelou, Willa Cather, CormacMcCarthy, and Alice Walker. This one MUST be nominated for the Pulitzer or equivalent award. Anything Rivers Solomon publishes will be in my collection forever! <For the record I do not remember ever giving 5/5 stars for every category >

Excruciatingly rare talent

Painful, beautiful, and haunting. These characters, especially Vern, will carve out a spot within you and haunt you from it.

Haunting

Wonderfully written and expertly narrated. I would recommend this book to any and everyone. The twists were slightly predictable but very well done. I plan on reading the authors other offerings. I chuckled in commiseration, I groaned in despair and shook my head in disbelief quite often listening to this. If the summary interests you at all give it a chance.

Wow
