YES! It‘s an attempted murder house gothic! I‘ve been cravjng one since I finished All of Us Murderers.
The weather is right for a gothic romance and I had this free ebook from the Gardner Francis Fox Library waiting!
I‘m seven percent in. There‘s duelling feminist and antifeminist secret societies. Our MC has an eidetic memory. Everything is stated explicitly—all telling, no showing. I don‘t know if I can do this one right now.
Kindle is reversing the order of Obedience and The Boy Who Was Buried This Morning, but publishing dates show this is the next in order.
pickLots of uncomfortable subject matter, but Dave‘s personal life remains riveting, and the conclusion was pretty satisfying.
I just really liked the graphic I made for Skinflick so apparently I‘m doing all the ones I‘ve read so far.
“Look out for that word earn. What it probably means is take. In the kinds of jobs you‘d want, that‘s what it‘s likely to mean.”
“And you,” Cecil said.
“And I,” Dave said. “So what we do is to give, every chance we have—right? Get in.”

Dave‘s entire character explained.
DID DOUG DUMP HIM OR NOT??!
I know this started as 3:10 to Yuma fanfic, but I keep visualizing Rook as Idris Elba. I guess something decent came out of the Dark Tower movie after all.
“The dead are terrible,” she said. “They won‘t help you at all. No matter how you loved them. No matter how they loved you.”
so-soI feel like I put more into reading this book than it gave back to me, and I‘m slightly dissatisfied with the ending. That said, the parts that were done well were good enough I‘ll probably pick this back up later to revisit them, and the mystery was gripping.
pickRidiculously fun over-the-top gothic adventure, though I could have lived without the cat scene.
This book lives in my mind rent-free. Especially the blue ribbon.
I loved this even better the second time around. On to Heavenly Tyrant!
It‘s interesting how it‘s the husband with misgivings about the house this time, instead of the wife.
pickI had high expectations for this book and Sharpson exceeded every one of them!
pickThis was a treat! I was looking forward to the gothic story, but blown away by Gonzalez‘s craft.
How am I supposed to read this book when I keep getting distracted looking up the songs they‘re talking about? 😭
I always forget how much I love American Vampire until I pick up an issue or a collection and get completely absorbed.
Tried to get my hands on this for years as a teen. Guess I‘ll finally see what all the fuss is about with the reprint!
I‘ve known about The King in Yellow and it‘s impact, but “SLICK BLACK BONES AND SOFT BLACK STARS“ makes me actually want to read it.
Also, these stories are all so different and so good I can‘t compare them, much less pick a favorite. Definitely going to check out the Hexslinger books, though.
