"This is gothic fairy tale at its best and truest: dark and romantic, angry and hopeful, tender and gritty and achingly beautiful. Starling House digs deep into the roots of a town's secret history to unearth a story of buried wrongs, powerful love, and finding home on haunted ground. I loved it."
—H.G. Parry
Nobody in the town of Eden, Kentucky is old enough to remember the building of Starling House, but the stories have been passed down through the generations like good china. The hairdresser says it was the beginning of Eden’s bad luck – the river water they can’t drink, the coal dust they can’t breathe, the cemetery that fills too fast.
Opal has spent her life collecting stories about the house. One night, she meets its reclusive heir, Arthur Starling, and receives an invitation she can't refuse. But there are secrets and stories buried beneath Starling House, clamoring to escape and wreak havoc on the town. And even they might not be the biggest threat . . .
Starling House is a sweeping gothic fairy tale from NYT-bestselling and Hugo-award winning author Alix E. Harrow.
