Mother Horror presents:
When Anne O'Donnell arrives on a dock in France in 1789 with no memory of her past, she allows herself to be renamed Marguerite and taken in as governess for Mellian, the petulant daughter of the rich merchant, Donatien Marais. But the chateau holds many secrets, some of them deadly... Don't read with the lights on...this is My Dark Library. A collection of novellas curated by Sadie "Mother Horror" Hartmann to represent her favorite themes, tropes, and subgenres in horror fiction today."The Bonny Swans is a work of impressive talent. Beautifully written and morally complex, this dark historical fantasy comes blazing to life though P. L. Watts's deep insight into the bruised hearts and yearning souls of the women at its center. A gripping mystery of trauma and desire, The Bonny Swans will carry readers away."
-Gordon B. White, author of Rookfield
"The Bonny Swans brings together all the best of the Gothic tropes - a troubled family, a struggling governess, an unhappy child - and stews them in magic, the French Revolution, and queer vibes. If the mystery of Marguerite's past doesn't keep you turning pages, the smoldering relationships and delicious prose certainly will! This snack-sized read is packed with both heartbreak and delight."
-Wendy N. Wagner, author of The Secret Skin and The Deer Kings
