Caitlin R. Kiernan is the type of writer that can beautifully balance horror, sensuality, and sensational imagery and make it look effortless. Her work is stunning, but the difficulty is so much of her best writing has previously only been available is short print runs. That has made getting a hold of some of her old work expensive and difficult. Tachyon Publishing is attempting to change that by collecting some of her best work in the collection The Very Best of Caitlin R. Kiernan.
Enter a world where young women discover their past with the fae after being hired to dress up for a party. See the life behind an infamous cult leader and her sacrifices to the ocean. A big fan of art house cinema gets a chance to see a banned film and see exactly why it was not available for the public. The scenarios may seem bizarre, but Kiernan’s writing sucks you in.
Kiernan’s writing is stunningly beautiful and I’m so thankful that her hard to find writing is now available again to readers. Treat yourself with this one if you like dark writing.
The Very Best of Caitlin R. Kiernan is available March 1, 2019 from Tachyon Publishing.
