SWOONING FOR ALL THINGS BOOKISH.
What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher
This little novella is packed with all kinds of gothic horror, dripping in atmosphere and psychological tension. Itโs the retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's classic โThe Fall of the House of Usherโ that you have been waiting for.
The Bone Orchard by Sara A. Mueller
I loved the unique concept created in The Bone Orchard. Dark, full of political machinations and necromancy, Muellerโs debut is filled visually with decadent descriptions and intrigue.
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.
The Angel of the Crows by Katherine Addison
Set in an alternate Victorian London, THE ANGEL OF THE CROWS by Katherine Addison re-imagines classic Sherlock Holmes only this world is inhabited by angels, vampires, and werewolves. Here, a madman treads the streets at night named Jack the Ripper.
