On Sundays She Picked Flowers

"[S]lickly stylish and graphically cannibalistic...Scholfield’s prose is impressive... Caitlin Starling fans will enjoy this gory mix of toxic sapphic romance and body horror."

Publishers Weekly

"Yah Yah Scholfield has written one of the most visceral, intense, brutal, and yet honest, works of horror I have read in a long time. On Sundays She Picked Flowers is about the trauma of family, relationships, and the monsters we let in when we fail to confront what wounds us. You will devour this book—unless it devours you first."

P. Djèlí Clark, award-winning author of Ring Shout

"On Sundays She Picked Flowers marks the debut of a ferociously talented writer. Yah Yah Scholfield writes with insight, beauty and the wildness of real art. This is a love story, a healing story, a tale of hard-won survival. Real, in the way all good fairy tales are."

Victor LaValle, bestselling author of Lone Women

"Atmospheric and engrossing. On Sundays is written with the same dark love and shadow magic it explores. An essential debut."

Johnny Compton, author of The Spite House

“ON SUNDAYS SHE PICKED FLOWERS is a beauty of a debut. Scholfield’s sharp prose effortlessly carries scenes of sweetness and brutality. It grabbed me from the first page, did not let me go till the final one, and I can still feel it lingering long after the end. This is the kind of novel I crave as a reader.”

Erin E. Adams, author of Jackal and One of You

"On Sundays She Picked Flowers is a luminous, weighty Southern Gothic imbued with suffering, rage, secrets, and isolation... an arresting, astounding exploration of inherited trauma, retribution, and the fortitude necessary to continue on."

Her Infinite Archive

"On Sundays She Picked Flowers by Yah Yah Scholfied is not a light read, packed with horrors (both real life and fictional), but ultimately hopeful. There are few books that linger with me long after reading, but this is one of those novels. A story about pain, but also about reclaiming joy and finding something beautiful in the aftermath. On Sundays She Picked Flowers is one of the best horror novels I have read in recent times and is highly recommended."
