Bookseller recommendation

“An excellent take on the classic gothic novel! Jump scares, ghostly mystery, creepy castles with secret passages, and fantastical horror, all told through the naïve but plucky protagonist. In this case however, the intrepid Marquis is also tangled in a love triangle with a country doctor and young, vivacious count. A queer spin on a classic form, told wonderfully and engagingly with all the self indulgent embellishments of the genre. Will Watt brings the three lovers, the dastardly Count, and the stalwart friends to life. Worth the listen. ”
