SWOONING FOR ALL THINGS BOOKISH.
The Death of Jane Lawrence by Caitlin Starling
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. Thereโs romance, magic, gore, and an unsettling feeling that builds until you turn the last page.
Book Review: All the Murmuring Bones by A.G. Slatter
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'Malleyโs power granted by blood and salt.
Book Review: Flyaway by Kathleen Jennings
FLYAWAY brings Gothic storytelling to the Australian shores where Jenningsโ lyrical words, edged and thorny, will enchant you. Clever use of nestled cautionary folktales entwines with an eerie mystery making this a scrumptious, albeit touched by elements of horror, fairy-tale read.
Ruthless Gods (Something Dark and Holy #2) by Emily A. Duncan
RUTHLESS GODS is dark, sinuous, and all the things Gothic that I love. Once again, the cleric, the prince, and the monstrous boy find their destinies irrevocably intertwined as mercurial gods and manipulative saints vie for power in this dramatic follow up to Wicked Saints.
