I am reviewing this book for Cemetery Dance in my position as an early reviewer, so I must note I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is a tremendous throwback to Gothic tales of the time of Shelley, Stoker, and Poe…but with the gusto, action, and profanity of today. It’s the perfect blend of Gothic romance (“I just met you, and this is crazy, but marry me, maybe”), Gothic dread, and gnarly horror. What a delightful mix. I read it in one sitting.
I have to disclose that not only am I a Cemetery Dance early reviewer, but Jonathan is a friend of mine. But this is an unbiased review, for his writing blows me away. It’s terrifying and claustrophobic and chilling and gory and just the perfect thing for a chilly October night.
And look at that perfect, gorgeous throwback cover!
