"""My Darling Dreadful Thing is a disquieting delight--an exciting and original gothic tale, told with tremendous flair."" -- Cherie Priest, author of The Drowning House ""My Darling Dreadful Thing is an unabashed Gothic treat, with a plot that propels you with restless, creeping logic towards its brutal conclusion. Van Veen's imagery is lushly cinematic, evoking the very best work of Guillermo del Toro. This is a delicious novel."" -- William Friend, author of Let Him In ""Dark and decadent, with the haunting allure of a true gothic tale, My Darling Dreadful Thing is a sensation that horrifies as acutely as it delights. Johanna Van Veen is a force to be reckoned with and will stain your thoughts a brilliant shade of crimson. I adored every page."" -- Rachel Gillig, New York Times bestselling author of One Dark Window ""A sapphic seance of preternatural proportions, My Darling Dreadful Thing summons a stunning new literary voice to be reckoned with. Johanna van Veen reaches beyond the veil to conjure up a gothic shocker like no other."" -- Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters"
