Grimm Curiosities
“Romantasy readers will be hooked.”
COMING NOVEMBER 5, 2024 - Available for preorder now
In Victorian England, a young woman inherits her father’s curiosity shop and all its ghostly secrets in a bewitching novel by the author of Salt & Broom.
It’s 1851 in old York. Lizzy Grimm struggles to save her late father’s charmingly creepy yet floundering antique shop, Grimm Curiosities. Then, during a particularly snowy December in this most haunted city in England, things turn…curiouser.
Lizzy meets Antony Carlisle, whose sister suffers from the same perplexing affliction as Lizzy’s mother—both stricken silent and unresponsive after speaking with ghosts. Working closely together to fathom what power has transformed their loved ones and why, Lizzy and Antony discover an important clue: her father’s treasured set of rare books on ancient folktales, enchantments, and yuletide myths. Books that a persistent collector is awfully keen to purchase. Books Lizzy can’t bear to sell.
Every bewitching passage and illustration opens a doorway to something ancient and dangerously inviting. Keys to a mystery Lizzy and Antony are compelled to solve—even if doing so means unleashing one of this bright holiday’s darkest myths.
“A beautifully written historical fantasy with a sprinkle of romance. But more importantly an almost perfect book. And I mean that. Everything about this book is wonderful; the characters, the descriptions, the wintery setting.”
“With a nod to the brothers whose name is almost synonymous with fairy tales and set in the Victorian England of one of the most famous Christmastime stories, Grimm Curiosities certainly set lofty goals, but came to meet and even exceed them.”
