But this is no postmodern revision of the genre. Setterfield has crafted an homage to the romantic heroines of du Maurier, Collins and the Brontës. And is it a tall tale? One last great fiction to leave for her reading public? Only Margaret, who begins to catch glimpses of her own dead twin in the eternal gloom of the Winter estate, can sort truth from longing and lies from guilt.

For decades, the author has wildly fabricated answers to personal questions in interviews. There, she hears a story no one else knows: who Vida Winter really is. It is the coincidence of twins in the life of Vida Winter, Britain’s most famous writer, that convinces Margaret to leave her post at her father’s rare-books store and travel to the dying writer’s Yorkshire estate.

The romance with Mathias is both touching and heartbreaking as he died two centuries earlier. The suspense spanned decades, as there was the storyline with the spirits whose business was interrupted during the Revolutionary War as well as the current day threat to Jo from a man who wants to discover the secrets Jo is trying to find herself.

This book drew me in immediately and kept my attention to the last page. I have been a librarian for most of my adult life, and also a writer. The unintentional horror of The Library of the Unwritten might specifically apply to me.

In the Dictator's absence, the Magister Equitum became his representative, and exercised the same powers as the Dictator. The Magister Equitum was granted a form of imperium, but at the same level as a praetor, and thus was subject to the imperium of the Dictator and was not superior to that of a Consul. The Dictator could not be without a Magister Equitum to assist him, and, consequently, if the first Magister Equitum either died or was dismissed during the Dictator's term, another had to be nominated in his stead. The nomination of the Magister Equitum was left to the choice of the Dictator, unless a senatus consultum specified, as was sometimes the case, the name of the person who was to be appointed. The Magister Equitum served as the Dictator's main lieutenant. The original Master of the Horse ( Latin: Magister Equitum) in the Roman Republic was an office appointed and dismissed by the Roman Dictator, as it expired with the Dictator's own office, typically a term of six months in the early and mid-republic. We’ll be here throughout the year to update the list of horror titles you mustn’t miss. It’s scary out there alone though, so let us be your guide. Whether you’re looking for a story that will chill your blood, darken your soul, or turn your stomach, this year’s macabre offerings will provide. There are major titles from huge names, nasty little gems from literary darlings, and, as ever, the small presses continue to push the genre in new, outrageous directions. That upward trajectory looks to reach new heights throughout the year, with horror creeping in to dominate the literary landscape from several directions at once. Whatever the reason, the genre is now more expansive, more inclusive, and more innovative than at any point in its history. Or maybe a whole generation raised on Stephen King has finally come of age and taken the reins. Maybe it’s because of the pandemic, as authors have had more time than ever to sit and mull over their darkest fantasies. (There, that’s the obligatorily gruesome metaphor checked off.) 2023 has already served up a fresh platter of bloody morsels and sweet, sickly delights to suit every morbid appetite. Straight from a 2022 that featured some of the best horror fiction in recent memory, we’ve hurtled into another banner year. As I read, I remembered a quote from an NPR article I’d read earlier in the year in which one of my favorite authors, Marlon James, talked about his African mythology-inspired fantasy novel Black Leopard, Red Wolf. I read this novella in December last year. But with such a heavy burden gone, Yetu takes the opportunity to escape the heavy responsibility of holding onto such painful history. She passes on these memories to other Wajinru in a ceremony called the Remembering, at the end of which she is supposed to take back the memories. The protagonist, Yetu, serves as the historian for the Wajinru and is burdened with all the memories of her people’s traumatic experiences. The Deep is a fantasy novella about a group of merpeople called the Wajinru who are actually descendants of African slaves. But although I appreciated what the story does, I didn’t like it as much as everyone else did. It made me curious to see what it’s all about, and I also thought it was pretty cool that the inspiration for it came from a rap song. |
