Love in the Times of Seaside Horror: Providence Girls by Morgan Dante Review

May 14, 2025 by Sritama Sen

Last May, I read Morgan Dante’s stunning Providence Girls, which won Best Historical Fiction at the 2023 Indie Ink awards. The author pitches it as “a seaside sapphic cosmic horror romance” in the vein of The Handmaiden and The Shape ofRead More

A High-Heat Heist: Double Exposure by Rien Gray

September 28, 2023 by Emory Rose
