Gothic

“a haunting, chilling, and thought-provoking work by this award-winning author.”

“How does one read the face of a house?”

“a shadowy fairy tale, in which two lovers, of which one, unfortunately, is dead, live in an enchanted house inhabited with wondrously quirky beings.”

“a horror story, and something more. In its format and narrative, it’s also an adult fairy tale and a coming-of-age chronicle. . .

“This novel may be a ghost story with more than a tinge of the Gothic, but in the end it’s actually a story of near-obsessive love.”

" It’s fascinating to look back at life centuries ago, to imagine the people and their circumstance, and this novel fleshes them out with an assured storytelling style."

“Lestat may say he doesn’t want to cause the deaths of his fellow undead but that’s what happens in this continuation of The Vampire Chronicles.” 

“a story closely reminiscent of a good number of Poe’s short stories . . .”

“enthralling . . . a seductive and mesmerizing thriller.”

“The heart wants someone to take away the fear. The heart wants answers even if they’re made up.”
