A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee
dark
emotional
mysterious
medium-paced
A lovely dark academia exploration of queerness, madness, literary women and their stories, murder, and witchcraft.
Bestt described by this lovely fourth wall wink nod from the protagonist, talking about her thesis.
“Mostly how depictions of mental illness are used to build suspense by introducing uncertainty and a sense of mistrust, especially with regard to the narrator’s perception of events, and the conflation of magic and madness in female characters.”
