Book Review: A Thousand Nights by E.K. Johnston

"They would wash and prepare me like a bride, but I knew that I was being dressed for death. Yet there was that sound, pulling at the whirlwind of my thoughts. I decided in that moment that I must live through the night, because I wished to know what made that sound. I walked up the stairs, and into Lo-Melkhiin’s harem."

A THOUSAND NIGHTS is a beautifully rendered story that takes the threads of the One Thousand and One Nights and explores the myth behind Scheherazade.
