Houses of Stone
Houses of Stone | Barbara Michaels
4 posts | 9 read | 2 to read
It is a find of inestimable value for Karen Holloway. The battered manuscript she holds in her handwritten in the nineteenth century and bearing the mysterious attribution "Ismene"could prove a boon to the eager young English professor's career. But Karen's search for the author's true identity is carrying her into the gray shadows of the past, to places fraught with danger and terror. For the deeper she delves into Ismene's strange tale of gothic horror, the more she is haunted by the suspicion that the long-dead author was writing the truth . . . and that even now she is guiding Karen's investigation, leading her to terrible secrets hidden behind the cold walls of houses of stone.

Mehso-so

Meh. I‘ve read one other Michaels and felt the same - I thought this was supposed to be spooky and thrilling and chilling, but it was all pretty bland. Minor romantic elements, small amount of academia, but meh. And a very early-90s focus on feminism (in academia and otherwise) that was actually really obnoxious. Not terrible but disappointing. This was my #roll100 #96 @PuddleJumper

Working my way through the tagged book, wondering when it‘s going to get spooky and/or interesting (1/3 through and the answer is “not yet”). But I got this awesome package from my friend‘s tea shop today and am so excited to try these amazing teas!
