  "A lush and brilliantly imagined tale, OBSCURA is a love letter to the outsider seeking home. Emily Habeck, author of Shark Heart"Obscura is a playful invitation to a wildly imaginative secret world ... It's a love letter to chosen family and a cautionary tale about the sacrifices required to protect them ... This is a book for the misfits, for the people who dream of there being a little more magic in the world. More than anything, Obscura is a shimmering, earnest ode to the power of the stories we choose to tell." Katie Yee, author of Maggie; or, A Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar"A fast paced, hypnotic joyride of a novel. Tucker has spun a world of magic, gorgeous oddities and family secrets, where we are left to ponder what happens when clannishness and us vs them mentality goes too far. Absolutely entertaining and whip smart." Rebecca Lehmann, author of The Beheading Game
