Sunrise
Released August 11, 2026
Why we recommend it
Three lives converge across a century in a Wyoming ghost town where the past refuses to stay buried. We recommend this genre-blending Western gothic for its survival story, haunted landscape, and rich questions about myth, memory, and belonging.

Book-club questions
Spoiler note: These prompts are best explored after everyone has finished the book.
- How does each time period reshape the story the ghost town tells about itself?
- In what ways does the landscape act as a witness, threat, or source of refuge?
- Which inherited story or local myth has the greatest power over the characters?
- What does survival cost each of the three central lives?
- By the end, did belonging seem rooted in a place, a shared history, or something else?
