Sparrow Hill Road

Ghost Roads #1 / 4
by Seanan McGuire
Sparrow Hill Road (Ghost Roads #1) by Seanan McGuire
Unrated

Sparrow Hill Road is the first volume in the story of Rose Marshall, who was the first victim of the man called Bobby Cross, although she was far from the last — and unlike most of them, she did not go easy into that good night. Sixty years down the line, she's still kicking ass, taking names, and more than a little bit pissed off about the way that she died.

You want a good little ghost who'll stay where she's put and only haunt the people who deserve it? Go to a sleepover. You want the real story of the American ghostroads? Come and have a word with Rose.

Seanan McGuire

Seanan McGuire

Seanan McGuire is a name that resonates with readers of urban fantasy, horror, and science fiction, known for her deep explorations into the dark and strange corners of the world. But while many recognize her for her October Daye and InCryptid series, Seanan’s literary prowess extends far beyond her most famous works. Under the name Mira Grant, she delves into gripping dystopias and terrifyingly believable horror with a touch of speculative brilliance. As A. Deborah Baker, she ventures into the whimsical and profound, creating rich, layered worlds that ask the reader to think deeply while being swept away in adventure.

Born and raised in Northern California, Seanan’s love for storytelling began early, with a childhood full of fantasy novels and a passion for role-playing games. That interest eventually blossomed into a career that spans genres and shows no sign of slowing down. She first burst onto the scene with the October Daye series, which blends urban fantasy with rich mythological underpinnings, offering a world filled with creatures, magic, and politics, all wrapped in the character of a fierce and witty protagonist.

In addition to her work as Seanan McGuire, she has written under the name Mira Grant, bringing readers to the brink of horror with novels like Feed, which explore the intersection of zombie apocalypses and media culture. As A. Deborah Baker, she crafts stories that reflect her interest in history, exploration, and the mysteries of the unknown, offering tales that balance wonder with a healthy dose of dark curiosity.

Her books, whether written under her real name or her pseudonyms, all share a common thread: characters facing the unknown, struggling with their identities, and navigating worlds where reality and fantasy are intertwined. Whether diving into the eerie, the fantastical, or the unsettling, Seanan McGuire’s work invites readers to venture into realms where the impossible feels heartbreakingly real, and where every twist and turn is a promise of something both new and familiar.
