Bonewater
A Novel by Delando Haughton

Some wounds never die. Some truths refuse to stay buried.

In the drought-stricken village of N'gori, the cursed well at its center has long been sealed and feared. But when children begin to vanish and dreams bleed into waking life, the whispers return. The Bonewater is stirring.

Asena-a reluctant healer marked by visions-hears the call no one dares answer. With the help of Kiro, a haunted ghost hunter, and her fading grandmother Mbithe, Asena must confront ancestral sins buried beneath silence, blood, and bone. To save her people, she must unearth the forgotten pact that bound her village to a spirit of memory, justice, and sacrifice.

But the Bonewater doesn't just demand truth.
It demands a reckoning.

Bonewater is a lyrical Afro-spiritual horror novel about legacy, grief, and the price of silence. For fans of Toni Morrison's Beloved, The Fifth Season, and The Secret Lives of Church Ladies, this tale weaves ancestral myth with visceral terror to ask: What must we remember to truly heal
