Why read it?
1 author picked The Stone Carnation as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This novel put a pin on what became a life-long fascination with gothic fiction for me.
I first read it over forty years ago and it is hands-down the most memorable novel ever from my early reading diet.
Why is it so memorable? It hits all the high notes necessary for gripping suspense/mystery/romance in this genre and is laden with all the gothicky feels.
It includes a bit of the supernatural, mystery of an old gravestone, mood setting in the Virginia hills, and a heroine in a dangerous pickle.
Originally published in 1971, it is out of print now but…
From Mary's list on vintage gothic suspense by iconic authors.
