"Gothic horror for the ages...Combining shiver-inducing horror with sharp-fanged social commentary, this more that merits comparison to Dracula and other genre titans."� Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "I'm in your blood, and you are in mine..." The Netherlands, 1887. Lucy's twin sister Sarah is unwell. She refuses to eat, mumbles nonsensically, and is increasingly obsessed with a centuries-old corpse recently discovered on her husband's grand estate. The doctor has diagnosed her with temporary insanity caused by a fever of the brain. To protect her twin from a terrible fate in a lunatic asylum, Lucy must unravel the mystery surrounding her sister's condition, but it's clear her twin is hiding something. Then again, Lucy is harboring secrets of her own, too. Then, the worst happens. Sarah's behavior takes a turn for the strange. She becomes angry... and hungry. Lucy soon comes to suspect that something is trying to possess her beloved sister. Or is it madness? As Sarah changes before her very eyes, Lucy must reckon with the dark, monstrous truth, or risk losing her forever.

Blood on Her Tongue: A Novel | Johanna van Veen

pick

An interesting gothic tale, set in 1887 Netherlands. Other than a couple mentions of place, this story feels timeless, like it could take place anywhere. It was not very scary, but there was an element of dread throughout. After an old body is recovered from a bog, Sarah begins to act different. Is she sick or has something more sinister happened to her. This was well written and kept me invested in the characters.
