I review @michelletang.bsky.social 's DuMort. Beautiful yet bizarre, gentle yet harsh, this novel is a riveting journey of horror and fascination. It evokes the suspense of similar novels in the genre, but in a refreshing style all its own.

DuMort, by @michelletang.bsky.social (pub by @ghostorchidpress.com) is a great example of how to use an oppressive atmosphere and a Gothic setting to deliver an impactful story.
