Reviews
"Every chapter in The Gone Dead yields a surprise.... Benz's Delta is portrayed with care and depth.... Her attention to the recurring nature of racism in this country, and her gift for weaving these insights into a gripping narrative, establish Benz as an adept critic and storyteller." - New York Times Book Review "Haunting.... The first line of this impressive novel sets the stage for what follows: 'It is not exactly as she was picturing'.... What follows is an interrogation of memory, race, and the way that stories define our lives.... The novel retains this tension right up to its final pages." - Ploughshares "Chanelle Benz has the power and grace to make the quiet stunning and the explosive beautiful. The Gone Dead is a wonderous exploration of pain and confrontation of its sources." - Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of Friday Black "A rich, arresting exploration of racial injustice and the long shadows cast by family legacy.... Propulsive from the outset, culminating in a wrenching final scene.... A beautiful and devastating portrait of the modern South." - Publishers Weekly "Beautifully written throughout.... Enthralling.... Recalling Lalita Tademy's Cane River, this work will appeal to lovers of African American, Southern, and historical fiction." - Library Journal (starred review) "You can easily read The Gone Dead in a weekend, and you likely will. It grabs hold early with truly compelling characters and a central mystery.... An arresting whodunit, a portrait of an American family, and a Southern narrative that won't let the past go." - Chapter 16 "A powerful look at a region constantly haunted by its past.... Benz proved herself to be a master storyteller with her short story collection, and that talent is on full display.... An excellent novel from an author who writes with real grace and a wisdom beyond her years." - NPR "The southern novel will never be the same after this book. Billie James, the protagonist of The Gone Dead, holds more mystery, lyricism, tragedy, nuance than most characters I've read in recent years.... Writers were not supposed to be able to do what Benz does in The Gone Dead." - Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy "The greatest novels in my world are nearly all placed in Mississippi. The Gone Dead is one of the greatest novels ever placed Mississippi. The southern novel will never be the same after this book. Billie James, the protagonist of The Gone Dead holds more mystery, lyricism, tragedy, nuance than most characters I've read in recent years. It seems almost unfair to contemporary writers that Chanelle Benz has created a plot that is equally fresh as Billie James herself. Somehow, the narrator and narrative tug at Mississippi's past and future will equal force. Writers were not supposed to be able to do what Benz does in The Gone Dead. Somehow, she did it and she made it all seem so easy." - Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy "Transports readers to the mucky Mississippi delta, where rising humidity and a few probing questions unearth a long-buried crime.... An examination of racial justice and history-- and whose versions are accepted as truth." - Elle "[An] extraordinary new novel. " - Southern Living "The past shadows Billie when she goes back to Mississippi after 30 years to extract the truth from the riddle of her father's death.... A taut, voltaic novel." - O, the Oprah Magazine, The southern novel will never be the same after this book. Billie James, the protagonist of The Gone Dead, holds more mystery, lyricism, tragedy, nuance than most characters I've read in recent years.... Writers were not supposed to be able to do what Benz does in The Gone Dead.

Synopsis
A TONIGHT SHOW SUMMER READS FINALIST An electrifying first novel from "a riveting new voice in American fiction" (George Saunders): A young woman returns to her childhood home in the American South and uncovers secrets about her father's life and death Billie James' inheritance isn't much: a little money and a shack in the Mississippi Delta. The house once belonged to her father, a renowned black poet who died unexpectedly when Billie was four years old. Though Billie was there when the accident happened, she has no memory of that day--and she hasn't been back to the South since. Thirty years later, Billie returns but her father's home is unnervingly secluded: her only neighbors are the McGees, the family whose history has been entangled with hers since the days of slavery. As Billie encounters the locals, she hears a strange rumor: that she herself went missing on the day her father died. As the mystery intensifies, she finds out that this forgotten piece of her past could put her in danger. Inventive, gritty, and openhearted, The Gone Dead is an astonishing debut novel about race, justice, and memory that lays bare the long-concealed wounds of a family and a country.
