An Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson
dark
mysterious
medium-paced
5.0
"For one white-hot instant, that dark instinct to overcome and overpower, to kiss and bruise, flared to life in my stomach. I imagined myself slotting my fingers into all that black hair and tugging until her mouth was hovering over mine. I imagined the soft, surprised sound she might make, the sweetness of her breath ghosting across my lips."
An Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson is a dark gothic fantasy novel about the bloodthirsty pursuit of knowledge, among other things!
Endless thanks to the folks at Orbit Books for providing me with a copy!
In the beginning when Laura met Carmilla, there was a bitter rivalry that exploded between them, brought on by an intoxicating poetry professor, Ms. De Lafontaine.
An Education in Malice is a darkly poetic, deeply uncomfortable (large age gap, inappropriate student/professor relationship, uneven power dynamics, obsession) and yet surprisingly romantic (HELLO GIFTING A FIRST-EDITION SYLVIA PLATH FOR CHRISTMAS) story loosely based on Le Fanu's Carmilla.
It's a jagged knife in your gut, deliberate and immense. At first taking your breath away, then slowly burning as it twists inside you, ratcheting up the adrenaline until it jangles your nerves and then you feel the wound that has been left.
Oof.
An Education in Malice will be released on February 13th!
