Kingfisher sparks the Gothic genre anew here. It glows like an algae on the page, illuminating the imagination with spindly webs. I devoured this book, and my only criticism is that there isn’t more. Easton in this novella is a fully fleshed out character, and the edit to make kan (a soldier pronoun) Gender Queer. It was a wonderful surprise and brilliantly executed.
