It's been a while since I read any Gothic Fiction. A genre I do enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll enjoy this one, Mary. It's probably more like neo-Gothic in that it has a lot of the same elements but it's set in modern day and in an urban setting. Thankns for your comment.
DeleteI love the cover! The colors and design are great.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanna. The cover artist was Rhonda Molloy - she's very talented.
DeleteI like the cover. It is so interesting
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debby. The. cover artist, Rhonda Molloy, took some suggestions I made and made something original and compelling from them.
DeleteI love books with sisters as the protagonists. This sounds like a very interesting story.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kari. It was an interesting story to write.
DeleteYou don't see as many gothic genre novels lately. Maybe they willcmake a resurgence.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it's not as common these days. It's more of a neo-gothic, though, really, because it's more contemporary and urban. There are some writers who use a few gothic elements, and it's more of a hybrid of gothic and something else (horror, for example, or in my case gothic literary).
