Heliopause Productions is happy to announce that Independent Book Review has awarded a starred review to Lucena In the House of Madgrin.
Here’s a smattering of what Melissa Suggitt had to say:
“…gothic fantasy with teeth…unexpectedly tender, funny in sharp little flashes, and anchored by a heroine you’ll root for with your whole chest…”
“…a vampire story, yes, but one filtered through gothic whimsy, emotional intelligence, and an obvious affection for the monstrous…”
“The artwork does more than decorate the narrative; it deepens the gothic atmosphere, capturing the eerie elegance of Madgrin and the dreamlike quality of the house…”
“a richly imaginative journey…eerie without being cruel, philosophical without being heavy-handed, and whimsical without losing its darkness.”
