June, 1993.
City girl Claire has been shipped off to spend the summer in Indianola, Texas, a tiny town on the Gulf. There's nothing too remarkable about Indianola. It's Nowheresville: rundown, remote, and sweltering, the sunshine as hot as oil.
Except ... there is something remarkable.
Memories shimmer and change.
Lizards whisper riddles under the pecan trees.
People disappear as if they never existed.
Yesterday keeps coming unspooled, like a videotape.
And worst of all, a red-lightning storm from beyond our world may just wipe the whole town off the map, if Claire and Julie (her new-friend-slash-maybegirlfriend) can't stop it.
Because reality doesn't apply in Indianola. Indianola is not supposed to exist.
A lush, thrilling genre bender, Forget This Ever Happened is the newest novel from award-winning author Cassandra Rose Clarke. Surprising, brilliant, and, like, totally tight, Forget This Ever Happened is speculative horror at its finest, featuring
an Own Voices Queer romance and dark, dazzling world-building.

      Starred review from September 14, 2020
      Small-town politics, weird creatures, and LGBTQ first love elevate this fast-paced piece of speculative horror from nostalgic homage to gleeful update. It’s 1993, and 17-year-old Claire Whitmore is stuck in her mother’s retrograde hometown of Indianola, Tex., for the summer, caring for her chronically ill grandmother. But when furred lizard-creatures speak to her in the backyard, Claire learns about the town’s secret: the monster colony in its old power plant, whose reality-bending powers force anyone leaving Indianola to forget them. But as Polish American Claire and 17-year-old Mexican American monster exterminator Julie Alvarez investigate the monsters’ interest in Claire—as well as a cheerful, ominous neighbor—they discover the buried connection between their families, a hidden love affair, and the truth behind Indianola’s monsters. Clarke (Star’s End) unfolds the town’s mystery with a compulsively building menace, while delightfully alien monsters, sweet queer representation, and a riot grrrl soundtrack keep even tense moments fun. Fans of Brenna Yovanoff, Christopher Pike, and Stranger Things will enjoy this light, smart thriller. Ages 14–up.
