A review by tiarala
Maplecroft by Cherie Priest

4.0

Lovecraftian horror is not what I expected from this book but I was delighted by the first appearance of Miskatonic University. In the beginning I wasn't sure how I felt about the style, written in a series of journal entries and letters, but as the story continued it was clear why Priest chose this method. Lots of great surprises came out as we explored an alternate history of Lizzie Borden's tale. It's the stuff of nightmares in the best possible way.
