An out-of-the-ordinary treat for serious fiction readers. Distinct in subject matter but not tone, this book echoes Daphne du Maurier’s Gothic novel Rebecca and Poe’s fevered tales.
A big, fun, page-turning rush of a novel, with Bard professor Morrow (The Forgers) writing wonderfully about music (Meta isn't just a classicist but a metalhead, too). [See Prepub Alert, 4/10/17.]
Morrow writes with a sure, clear voice, and his prose is lush and detailed. Readers who are willing to forgive some slow-paced sections and a few red herrings along the way will be rewarded with a twisty and suspenseful conclusion. Recommended for readers who enjoy atmospheric literary thrillers such as Caleb Carr's The Alienist.
This collection will appeal to readers of noir fiction. ["Hanging on the voices of their narrators—at once fascinating in their fixations and repelling in their twisted logic—and mixing elements of Southern gothic and noir, these powerful tales will linger in the reader's mind," read the review of the Pegasus hc, LJ 9/1/11.—Ed.]
Hanging on the voices of their narrators—at once fascinating in their fixations and repelling in their twisted logic—and mixing elements of Southern gothic and noir, these powerful tales will linger in the reader's mind.
This impressive anthology of theme-based literary nonfiction is recommended to lay readers interested in various philosophical perspectives on death, and it will help professionals who work with dying patients and their families.
This meditation on childhood trauma is a hybrid: half suspense, half "literary" fiction. Unfortunately, the mystery is often predictable, but the prose (despite some trying descriptions of foliage and birds) supersedes the plot. It's Katherine Howe meets John Irving and comes highly recommended by Joyce Carol Oates, so buy accordingly.
