Grimdark

Praise for Shannon Morgan


“A dark weaving of history, horror and timelines, Grimdark draws you into its depths and doesn't let go. Gothic, ghostly and enthralling.” —Angela "A.G." Slatter, award-winning author of The Crimson Road on Grimdark


"Grimdark has everything gothic-lovers crave: a sprawling, coastal English manor haunted by its dark past, a spirited heroine determined to solve the mysteries within its walls, and a climactic ending that will set your pulse racing. Morgan has created something both classic and fresh, replete with lush atmosphere and laced with historical intrigue. It's all here--love, tragedy, family secrets, curses, and the power of breaking free from them. A brilliantly told tale." —Paulette Kennedy, bestselling author of Parting the Veil


“Shannon Morgan's Grimdark is a unique and sweeping journey through time. At once mind-bending and gothic, tragic and hopeful, it's a beautifully crafted exploration of memory, longing, and what we must leave behind to move forward.” —Chelsea Iversen, author of The Witches at the End of the World


"Taking a deep dive into how past experiences (and past lives) can shape our future, Morgan’s Grimdark brims with atmospheric prose intended to haunt us, as we’re pulled along the tide of self-reflection, self-awakening, and self-discovery. Through Cló, Grimdark explores the nuance of family trauma and the legacies that define us, delivering a stunning and harrowing work of Gothic wonder that’s sure to keep you up at night.” —Maria Tureaud, author of This House Will Feed


“Morgan’s prose is atmospheric without being overly dense, and tropes of the classic gothic novel are juxtaposed with references to the 21st century to create a sense of anachronism. Overall, the novel provides a compelling supernatural mystery that will hold a reader’s attention right up to the last page. Recommend to fans of Kate Morton and Eve Chase.” —Library Journal on Her Little Flowers
