The Bone Key: The Necromantic Mysteries of Kyle Murchison Booth by Sarah Monette

3.0

I liked the stories and would be happy to read more--they were scary in the middle and then resolved in a way that calmed me down, so I could actually read them before bed. The Lovecraftian ties were clearer in some stories than others. In the introduction the author mentions wanting to add women and sexuality to the Lovecraft universe, which she does, but I wish she'd taken the same care with the racial and colonialist elements.
