The Mad Women's Ball by Victoria Mas: A father commits his daughter to a Parisian Asylum in 1885 because she sees ghosts. Gorgeously gothic book about inequality & injustice. Sad, sometimes disturbing, but ultimately about hope, friendship, kindness & different types of freedom. https://t.co/TsiyVJZCDf

Got home today to find this in my post. So thrilled to have a story in BLACK IS THE NIGHT, an anthology of stories inspired by wonderful noir author Cornell Woolrich. Look at those amazing authors I'm nestled in between the covers with. Can't wait to read all the stories. https://t.co/Y0DK842Y8x

Just finished Megan Abbott's THE TURNOUT. Brilliant. A sinister sensuality & throbbing sense of menace burn slowly & fiercely. The beauty & grace on the surface of everything & everyone hide darkness, dysfunction, desire, ambition, shattered dreams, revenge & cruelty.
