EDENDALE by Jacquelyn Stolos is a modern gothic masterpiece; where malaise and monotony act as the creeping dread pervading every sentence to culminate in a truly suffusing reading experience. Four roommates share a grim little house in LA, where the hills are alight with wildfires, coyotes roam the streets, and each roommate succumbs to their own cocktail of nueroses and paranoia. Readers say: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Like one long, lackadasical horror-spiral around and around a drain of mental illness, bleak and bleariness, and tension that keeps you reading for the inevitable car crash of an ending." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Characters were so vivid and interesting that I stopped caring about the minimalistic plot. It made me think of an old Joan Didion essay about the Santa Ana winds, fully realised in the claustrophobic little house." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A slow burn exploration of trauma to women and how we digest it in different ways... startling," Find EDENDALE on the shelves of your favourite bookshop or at the link in ...
