From the author of Hungerstone comes a stunning new gothic horror novel set in Victorian Era London, inspired by the ghostly world of Hamlet.
It is the time of night when only the dead are abroad.
1898 Hampstead, London: Odette’s mother is dead. Before the funeral rites have concluded, body not yet buried, her once-estranged aunt, Claudine, takes over as the family’s matriarch. Not long after, she is announced as Odette’s new step-mother and the household reorders itself around Claudine’s every command. As Odette reckons with this betrayal, a sinister presence begins to make itself known—and it is desperate for revenge.
Odette’s childhood best friend and lover Cecilia is caught in the middle. As Cecilia’s affections are tested in the face of Odette’s spiraling madness, so too is her duty to her family when they find themselves bound to Claudine by a buried secret.
Telling a story of love and grief, mothers and daughters, death and madness, Rottenheart reimagines Hamlet with a fearless queer love story and a world full of ghostly hauntings.
