A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw does not disappoint when it comes to an eerie atmosphere and a building mystery. A History of Wild Places is the author’s first adult book, and I felt Ernshaw overall did a good job transitioning out from YA.

The Death of Jane Lawrence by Caitlin Starling is a gothic fantasy horror that reads like a feverish dream, with a dripping atmosphere and dark tones. There’s romance, magic, gore, and an unsettling feeling that builds until you turn the last page.

ALL THE MURMURING BONES is an alluring gothic fairy tale. The story weaves together family secrets and lies, broken bargains, dangerous plots and adventures, all surrounded by the mystery of the O'Malley’s power granted by blood and salt.

DOWN COMES THE NIGHT is a debut YA dark fantasy filled with magic, mystery, and a forbidden romance set in a winter-drenched landscape where two enemies are trapped inside a crumbling manor fighting for their survival as each night threatens their lives.
