Synopsis "On the Savage Side: A Novel "

Six women--mothers, daughters, sisters--gone missing. Inspired by the unsolved murders of the Chillicothe Six, this harrowing novel tells the story of two sisters, both of whom could be the next victims, from the internationally best-selling author of Betty. "Capture[s] what goes horribly wrong when women don't fit a customary victim profile...McDaniel artfully evokes each facet of their common humanity, the sinuous landscape, and defiant community in the face of evil." --Oprah Daily Arcade and Daffodil are twins born one minute apart. With their fiery red hair and thirst for escape, they form an unbreakable bond nurtured by their grandmother's stories. Together, they disappear into their imaginations and forge a world all their own. But what the two sisters can't escape are the generational ghosts that haunt their family. Growing up in the shadow of their rural Ohio town, the sisters cling tightly to one another. Years later, Arcade wrestles with the memories of her early life, just as a local woman is discovered drowned in the river. Soon, more bodies are found. As her friends disappear around her, Arcade is forced to reckon with the past while the killer circles closer. Arcade's promise to keep herself and her sister safe becomes increasingly desperate and the powerful riptide of the savage side becomes more difficult to survive. Drawing from the true story of women killed in Chillicothe, Ohio, acclaimed novelist and poet Tiffany McDaniel has written a moving literary testament and fearless elegy for missing women everywhere.

Tiffany McDaniel es una autora estadounidense nacida en Ohio, conocida por su prosa poética y su habilidad para explorar temas oscuros como la pérdida, el dolor, la enfermedad mental y la violencia familiar. Criada en una zona rural del estado, gran parte de su obra se inspira en su entorno y en experiencias personales, lo que aporta una atmósfera intensa y melancólica a sus novelas.

Debutó con The Summer That Melted Everything (2016), una historia perturbadora que fue bien recibida por la crítica y ganó varios premios. Sin embargo, alcanzó mayor reconocimiento con Betty (2020), una novela basada en la vida de su madre, Betty Carpenter, que mezcla hechos reales con elementos de ficción. Betty fue aclamada internacionalmente por su sensibilidad, su fuerza narrativa y su retrato honesto de la pobreza, el racismo y el trauma infantil.

McDaniel también es poeta y artista visual, y ha dicho que escribe desde una edad temprana, guiada por la necesidad de dar voz a lo silenciado. Su estilo literario se caracteriza por un lirismo crudo y poderoso, con personajes complejos y profundamente humanos.
