More love & death? Joining us to dissect Wuthering Heights is an Irish writer who says it's NOT romantic - and she'd know, since, as Jessica Thorne, she writes gothic romances!

Happiest of book birthdays!!

Thank you so much to everyone who's helped me celebrate Enchanting the Fae Queen's UK book birthday today! And thanks to my amazing publishers, @torbooksuk.bsky.social , for the absolutely stunning flowers. ❤️

Lorelei would definitely approve!

The British cover for Enchanting the Fae Queen, by Stephanie Burgis, shows a green background with a frame of climbing roses and branches rising through a night sky full of stars. In the center of the image, just beneath the moon, stands a massive, ominous castle with a hedge maze before it. A blonde woman in a long gown scattters sparkles in her wake as she leads her tall. uniformed male companion through the moonlit hedge maze at a run, while giant butterflies flutter overhead. The tag line reads: “All’s fae in love and war” and a blurb from Sarah Beth Durst reads: “Full of charm, wit and magic.” Around and beneath the cover image is this text, connected by arrows to different parts of the cover image: She's a scandalous seductress; he's famously moral, virtuous and chaste; “Yes, I may kill him, but I’ll kill anyone else who tries”; Enemies to lovers; out now. This photo shows a glorious bouquet of roses and carnations with a card addressed to Stephaanie Burgis in its center.

Enchanting the Fae Queen Author: Stephanie Burgis Publisher: Bramble Release Date: January 27, 2026 Series: Queens of Villainy #2 Genre: Fantasy Romance, Romantasy Excerpt: Chapter Five It was astonishing just how easily Lorelei’s mood could be uplifted by that look on Gerard de Moireul’s face. The amount of incredulity and outrage expressed by an infinitesimal widening of that man’s eyes and a single pulse of a blood vessel in the left side of his forehead was enough to set her up for days with delight.

An alchemical circle with the US cover of Wayward Souls and a bunch of taglines including: Dracula + Sherlock Holmes but make it sapphic; be gay, fight monsters; dangerous women; smashing the patriarchy; a plague of black feathers; actually haunted by the ghosts of their past; Moriarty giving daddy. Like literally. He's a terrible father; Slow-burn sapphic yearning; dreaming of death omens; a song no one else can hear; occult secret societies; the darker side of Irish folklore
