An incredible, atmospheric contemporary Southern gothic triumph.
Unreliable, sharp edged, tenacious heroine? ✅
A sentient house whose walls and eaves and panes strain and warble and tend? ✅
A boy who wants to tend flowers but chooses to wield a sword? ✅
A story which asks questions about what it means to be from somewhere generally but from the Upper South specifically? ✅
I’d follow Alix Harrow just about anywhere - Underland included.
