In The Death of Jane Lawrence, Caitlin Starling transforms marriage into a gothic nightmare of secrets, rituals, and forbidden knowledge. This review explores why the novel lingers long after the last page, from its occult imagery to its suffocating dread — and how it echoes the same fears that inspired The Girl Who Knew The Medicine.

Some houses shelter you. Others swallow you whole. In The Good House, Tananarive Due takes the haunted house story to a new depth — blending supernatural horror with family legacy, Haitian magic, and the scars of grief. When Angela Toussaint returns to her grandmother’s home after tragedy, she discovers the Good House isn’t done with her… and what lurks inside isn’t just after the property, but her soul.
