A Louisiana town and the swamp’s power

In Sterling’s small Louisiana town, the swamp is more than a landmark: after her brother vanishes, the community seems to have lost all memory of him. Sterling is left as the sole person who remembers, and she turns to Heath, who has experienced the swamp’s strangeness himself. Their effort to challenge its hold gives the novel a supernatural mystery rooted in family, memory, and a close-knit community. The Southern Gothic setting ties the personal disappearance to a force that appears to shape life throughout the town.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in supernatural mysteries
  • Readers drawn to Southern Gothic settings and folklore-inflected fiction
  • Readers interested in stories about family, memory, and community

Book overview

Southern Gothic gets a whole new twist in Beware the Wild, now in paperback. Sure to appeal to fans of the bestselling Beautiful Creatures series, New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White called Beware the Wild "American myth at its very best."

The swamp in Sterling's small Louisiana town proves to have a power over its inhabitants when her brother disappears and no one but Sterling even remembers that he existed. Now Sterling, with the help of brooding loner Heath, who's had his own creepy experience with the swamp, must fight back and reclaim what--and who--the swamp has taken.

Beware the Wild is a riveting and atmospheric page-turner readers will want to devour. And don't miss Behold the Bones, a companion to Beware the Wild!
