The queer gothic horror-comedy metafiction I never knew I needed! Dear Readers, I think I am a little bit in love with emily m. danforth.
I love this book so much. I loved everything about it, from the way the characters and plot skirt the line between heightened and realistic, to the spot-on use of "The Story of Mary MacLane" as a both catalyst and red herring; from the careful interweaving of the dual Victorian and and 21st century timelines, to the oh so clever application of footnotes.
At 600+ pages, this book requires an investment of one's time, but the rewards are ample. I will be recommending this book to friends, colleagues, and acquaintances near and far.
