You are in a hole, it is shaped like a grave, you are looking up into a violet sky with a huge moon, black soil and tree roots are surrounding the hole. Two girls are looking down at you; one has dark hair in two long braids, she has dark skin and a lilac t-shirt on, she is reaching out to you but has a passive expression on her face. The other has long blond hair, untied, with white skin and a dark purple dress, her expression is watchful. Your hand is reaching out of the grave, you have dark pink nail varnish on all your fingers but not your thumb. Your hand is the largest image on the cover, there are big black cracks running across and down your hand and into your wrist and there are chunks of flesh missing. The title is written in glowing white and pale gold across the top, over the sky and the blond girl. The writing is large and takes up a third of the cover. The author's name is written along the bottom edge of the page in small white text.
#FuneralsAreForTheLiving by #SamiEllis was a powerful and disturbing read. Death, community, dark magic & a racist cult are brought together in this YA Horror. Junie has more than a fight for survival on her hands and her kidnappers have had more than a little practice...
