Last year’s The Gryphon King by Sara Omer was a wild feast for dark epic fantasy fans, a buffet tray of wonders served on a five-course meal of revolving horrors and delights alike. It was a blindingly original Southwest-Asian inspired world that inc ...more

The gothic, especially in the last ten years, has found itself evolving into so many modern variants that it has become the ultimate horror virus, one we all can’t wait to catch. Which is fitting because (stay with me as my tortured analogy bears fru ...more

What a tonally clever—and daring—book this is. Yes, on the one hand it’s pretty obvious this is a horror. The name, cover and blurb. But still, for the first half, or at least third, of this novel, you are lured into thinking we’re strictly in Cold W ...more

In the hands of an Arthurian expert like Lee, this gleefully revisionist take on Britain’s Round Table legends sings not just with authenticity but with the willingness to subvert the tropes that only an expert can get away with. It’s a rollicking ta ...more

There is something about “child gone missing” stories from the parents’ perspective that elicits a truly primordial, instinctive reaction of utter horror, whether or not you have children yourself, though I imagine they take on a unique flavour of he ...more

First, let’s start with an absurd statement. Headlights feels like an author announcing themselves. Why absurd? Because, with the ridiculously excellent books Maeve Fly and American Rapture, it’s hard to think what more an author could have done to s ...more

Quotes by Ed Crocker  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“He was not the kind of vampire you would expect in the Bloodhalls; not the blood-guzzling, womanizing, sun-mocking lord of darkness that most look forward to becoming if they have the bad luck to swap immortality for ashes. Either the Bloodhalls would have to adapt or my son would.”
Ed Crocker, Lightfall

“I think,” says Alanna, “that what m’lady is trying to say is that one day you wake up and you’re tired of fuckin’ with the Lords one by one, and if you see a chance to fuck with them all, it’s a wise decision to take it, by and by.”
Ed Crocker, Lightfall

“I will read the rites of the Blood Gods over an urn containing my youngest son’s ashes. Then the Gothia of the Bloodhalls will read the psalms of entry, preparing my son, still trapped in the ashes, for his journey there, and the urn will be carried out of the square and to the nearby suncrypt. There it will rest until lightfall the following day, when the sun will stream through the aperture in the roof of the crypt directly onto the ashes and take my son up into his afterlife.”
Ed Crocker, Lightfall
