New Gothic
Plain Bad Heroines
(William Morrow)
by Emily M. Danforth
paperback
|
|
|
"...a horror novel, a proper one: a big fat doorstep of super-queer terror that never runs out of ways to keep you deliciously disturbed... Danforth braids the layers of narrative together with expertise. She’s clearly a horror buff... Another writer might have let the metatext choke the dread, but Danforth uses it to thrillingly corrode the reader’s own sense of reality... Her novel is beguilingly clever, very sexy and seriously frightening.”
