"This novella is as dark and rich as European drinking chocolate, both in the story it tells and in the way it’s written. Malcolm Mays tries to escape the horror of his life by moving to a house in rural Oregon, only to fall into a new horror when letters begin to arrive from Dusha Chuchonnyhoof, who claims to be the owner. Dusha is due to return — after 117 years — and that’s only one part of the unsettling unreality at the heart of this story. Kat Howard and Maria Dahvana Headley’s separate styles blend beautifully here, as do myth and folklore, in this intricate and elegantly forged plot."
