My Darling Dreadful Thing

A sapphic seance of preternatural proportions, My Darling Dreadful Thing summons a stunning new literary voice to be reckoned with. Johanna van Veen reaches beyond the veil to conjure up a gothic shocker like no other.

Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters

My Darling Dreadful Thing is an unabashed Gothic treat, with a plot that propels you with restless, creeping logic towards its brutal conclusion. Van Veen’s imagery is lushly cinematic, evoking the very best work of Guillermo del Toro. This is a delicious novel.

William Friend, author of Let Him In

Dark and decadent, with the haunting allure of a true gothic tale, My Darling Dreadful Thing is a sensation that horrifies as acutely as it delights. Johanna Van Veen is a force to be reckoned with and will stain your thoughts a brilliant shade of crimson. I adored every page.

Rachel Gillig, New York Times bestselling author of One Dark Window

This book got under my skin, all the way down to the marrow. It's as dark as a grave and throbbing with queer desire. I won't forget it.
