Gothic vibes? Yes. Historical setting? Yes. Evil old mansion? Yup. Ghosts? Multiple. Lesbians? Absolutely.
“The Wives of Herrick Hall” is set in the year 1799 and I’d say that Julie Lew did a great job making the prose really straddle the line between being historically accurate while also remaining accessible enough for modern day readers. I also found the pacing to be really well done, although I could see some other readers finding it a bit slow in parts. I’d argue that the slower portions are necessary to fully set the scene as well as really establish our main cast of characters — so even though the portions of Josephine wandering the halls of the house night after night aren’t the most action-packed moments, they were still important moments that give both her, and thereby the reader as well, insight into the house itself as well as some of the shady characters that reside there. (And don’t worry, the action definitely picks up as the story progresses, so there’s no lack of exciting moments either!)
I’d have to say my only real gripe with this story is simply that there were so many unlikable male characters involved — although this is definitely an intentional choice and not just a symptom of poor characterization. If anything, I’d say the characterization was really quite well done as everyone had their own distinct set of motivations and they managed to stick to them faithfully. (So really, my gripe is probably more so due to the fact that these unlikable men were just a bit too accurate overall…) As far as the women’s characters went, I really did enjoy Josephine from the very beginning while Nora was one that I really couldn’t stand at first, but she ended up growing on me as the story progressed. By the end, I could say I was pleased with Nora’s overall character arc and I definitely could understand her more.
Overall I’d absolutely recommend this book to readers who enjoy gothic horror romances!

This novella does a great job in saying things without actually saying them and making sure the reader is fully able to understand the main character's mental state. Even though this is really a story about trauma, abuse, and learning to survive in the aftermath, it's still written in a way that's extremely accessible for readers. This novella never needed to use strong, graphic detail to tell the full story of Evey's past — proving that the unspoken can sometimes be even louder than what's actually being said.
I did love the space setting and getting to see little glimpses of what life could be like as a space freighter, but I will say this overall isn't a particularly unique plot because I've definitely read similar stories before. That said, I think the main strength with this novella was really the character work as Evey and Shirr felt like real people with understandable emotions. Their relationship develops naturally over time and by the end of the story I was just really happy that these two managed to find each other.
If you're a reader that likes stories that hit on darker topics, but aren't looking for anything too heavy right now, then this might be a great pick for you! It can easily be read in a single sitting while still doing great job at scratching that itch to read a satisfying story without having to commit to a 300+ page novel.

Although “Wolf Worm” definitely isn’t going to be the book for those with genuine insect phobias, those without will be able to find a great mix of creepy atmosphere and other gothic horror charms alongside a strong female main character who is filled with some charmingly sardonic and dry humor.
I really loved Sonia as a character and her inner monologue and little quips throughout had me snickering at quite a few times throughout the novel—her personality really shines through and she feels like a believable character that you want to root for. Honestly all of the characters here were really well done with strong personalities and clear motivations. The first half of the novel really comes in at a slower pace, but I really enjoyed that since it gave plenty of time to really flesh out all the characters and to slowly build up all the mystery and tension in the plot. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what’s wrong at first, but as we follow along with Sonia on her days living in Halder’s mansion we start to piece the mystery together with her—and she’s the kind of woman who will do everything she can to sate her curiosity. I can definitely say this is one of those novels where I had an inkling of what was actually going on here, but the reality was not something that I was able to guess at all! So for the readers who are happy to sit through the slower paced portions: you’ll definitely be rewarded with an interesting plot climax, a satisfying ending, and perhaps a new fear of botflies.
I listened to the audiobook for this one and I have to say that Mary Robinette Kowal did a fantastic job with narration. She has great enunciation and really nails shifts in tone and inflection, as well as keeping up a great tempo. She also makes an effort to give each character a unique voice—and accent—during their dialogue portions which I found to be a great help at keeping track of all the characters. I will say that the men’s voices did get a bit similar at times, but overall it was still a very well-done effort.
If you’re already a fan of T. Kingfisher’s horror, then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this one as well. But I’d say this is also a good choice for gothic horror readers in general, especially if you like to have a bit of body horror in the mix—just as long as you can get past the creepy crawlies! And I’m sure audiobook fans won’t be disappointed with Kowal’s performance here, so if you’re on the fence on which version to get I’d say go ahead and go for the audio.

Both compelling and blasphemous, “Bone of My Bone” is an ambitious mix of historical, religious, and folk horror steeped with gothic charm and impossible to put down. With her third novel, Johanna Van Veen has once again managed to give readers a unique story about a love between two women that is able to grow in the most unlikely of situations.
I really liked how this was both a story about fighting—basically literal—demons as well as one about fighting yourself and your own beliefs. This wasn’t a story about two women immediately casting away their faith at the smallest sign of hardship; it was a story about two women who went through hell while having to make some very difficult decisions that made them grapple with their ideas of right versus wrong. There’s a lot of push and pull between the girls as they clash over differences in personality as well as their differences in faith—one being a Catholic nun and the other being a Calvinist—which provides a nice balance of more relatable conflict in-between the supernatural elements going on in the story. And though the plot itself is filled with conflict, darkness, and despair, there remains a small light of hope that’s able to shine throughout the story.
As usual, Johanna’s writing flows beautifully and makes for a very easy read. Her descriptions are detailed enough to paint a clear picture without overstaying their welcome, and the language is easy to comprehend without being simplistic. My only real complaint with the story would be that the relationship between Ursula and Elsebeth developed a little too quickly for my tastes—although one could argue that they were living in a heightened state of emotion being surrounded by danger all the time, leading them to behave differently than usual.
If you’re already a fan of Johanna Van Veen, or just a fan of gothic or folk horror in general, then I think you’ll really enjoy this one! Just be aware that there are some rather graphic descriptions of gore among quite a few other trigger warnings, so readers with known triggers may want to take some caution and look up the warning list first. For me, I think I’m going to have to officially put Johanna Van Veen into my list of favorite authors after this novel because she’s three for three now.

This really felt like a breath of fresh air and was an absolute delight to read! I haven’t had a new series grab my attention so quickly in quite some time now, and I can see this series easily gaining a dedicated fan base. You can definitely feel the Studio Ghibli inspiration in the story in that it gives off a certain whimsicality despite it covering some heavier topics (e.g. classism, political corruption) as well as showing scenes of violence.
At its core, “The Rainshadow Orphans” seems to be a story that really puts a focus on the power of found family. Our main set of characters — Toshiko, Mei, and Jun — consider themselves siblings, but they aren’t actually blood related. Bonded after all being separately adopted into the care of a woman named Reiko, these three seek to find revenge for their dear adopted “aunt” who ended up being murdered by a member of a local gang. This novel starts off with an absolute bang where we’re thrown right into a scene of Toshiko attempting to complete a stealth mission that puts her face-to-face with the same man who murdered her Aunt Reiko years ago.
I’m usually a bit wary of stories that immediately start in the middle of the action as it tends to be a bit overwhelming, but “The Rainshadow Orphans” did not suffer from this at all. In fact, I found it extremely easy to fall into this novel right from the get-go. I was able to pick up the character names quickly and found the plot and character’s motivations easy to follow even with only minimal information. If anything the storytelling shown here just felt really natural. All of the plot progressions felt like they fit in and it never seemed like drama was being thrown in just for the sake of adding more drama — it all had a purpose. I also really liked how some rather advanced technology is in play here right alongside a magic system that is slowly revealed throughout the novel. The contrast between the two is very interesting and having both in play means there’s a lot of creative potential for the rest of the series!
Overall I would highly recommend this book to fantasy readers in general – especially those who enjoy stories with Japanese influence! And for people who might be new to fantasy stories and are looking to dip their toes in the water here, then I think this would also make a fantastic introduction to the genre.

This right here is a true southern gothic novel — filled to the brim with flawed characters, illicit themes, raw emotions, and a fair amount of gore.
Overall, it's a rough story that really focuses on dark ramifications of generational trauma. We follow the story of a woman named Jude, who runs away from her childhood home — and more importantly from her abusive mother. One thing that really hit me harder for this novel is that this wasn't a case of a young woman or teenager running away to try and start a new life. Jude is actually already 41 years old before she finally manages to escape from the house of suffering she's been stuck in for her entire life. The meat of this novel is really about how Jude grows and adapts to her new life in the abandoned, haunted home she's fled to deep in the Georgia woods. We watch as she learns some harsh truths about herself, and we also watch as she develops a deep, intimate relationship with a mysterious woman who suddenly appears at her door one day.
Written with lush and descriptive prose, you can really feel the anger, fear, lust, sorrow, and disgust absolutely dripping from the pages of this novel. But in between all the bad, there are moments of serenity that help make the story more palatable and really humanize (most of) the characters. It's also a pretty fast-paced story with frequent time skips, but the pacing feels very natural and there's an impressive amount of character development packed in along the way.
I don't want to give too many details on the plot as I went into this one mostly blind and I'm glad I did so, but here's a list of some keywords I jotted down during my reading for anybody who might want a little more of an idea of what to expect: visceral, haunting, incandescent, tranquil, frenzied, wanton, harrowing, hopeful.
If you're a reader that tends to be triggered by darker themes, you'll probably want to pay special attention to the content warning at the beginning of this book before fully committing to it. But for those who do not have any triggers, I would highly recommend this one. I'll also most definitely be keeping an eye out for future works from Yah Yah Scholfield!

I’d say that this is one of those stories where the horror lies more in the unseen than the seen.
There’s no obvious boogeyman character to fear here, just an ever-growing sense of unease that permeates through the pages as you watch one man devolve from a kind and friendly soul into a man caught in the throes of obsession over a prehistoric ruin. This is not a story of axe murderers, it’s a story about how an even bigger horror is watching a loved one transform into somebody you no longer recognize.
I would not have guessed this was a debut novel if I didn’t already know it was before picking it up! The writing is wonderfully atmospheric and Higginson did a fantastic job at setting the scene — the story told here perfectly fits into the backdrop of an isolated sheep farm deep in the Welsh mountains. Carwyn and Rhian were also both well-developed characters that truly felt like real people. In-between the creepy stuff happening in the present day, the novel intermingles flashbacks of their story from their first meeting up through married life that really helps readers get to know each of them properly — which makes the main story hit that much harder. And although I would say this story is a little slow-paced, I’m also saying it as a compliment. Everything is given just enough time for the plot to fully develop and for all that tension to really build up to a proper climax at the end. There’s also some folklore elements that really add some extra intrigue to the story and really help flesh everything out just a bit more (if you aren’t already familiar with the Mari Lwyd, you’re about to learn).
So if you like folk horror, and don’t mind a bit of a slow burn, then I highly recommend picking this one up! (And I’ll most definitely be putting Liam Higginson on my list of authors to keep an eye out for going forward.)
