Taos, New Mexico. Elena Vasquez came to paint the desert and stayed for reasons she can’t explain — even to herself. When bones surface in the arroyos after a flash flood, they pull her into a story that belongs to the land as much as to the living. Ochre and Bone is a folk horror novel about art, desire, and the price the desert exacts from those who try to possess it.
