The Shape of Darkness
Book Feature - The Shape of Darkness by Laura Purcell
HBL Note: “…another clever, creepy read from the queen of Gothic fiction.” That’s how the email from Laura’s publicist began. I first featured Laura Purcell when she released THE POISON THREAD in 2019. Her books are sure to send a chill up your spine, and her latest centers around an artist (you know how much I love that!) THE SHAPE OF DARKNESS is about a silhouette artist whose subjects are all ending up dead - could supernatural events be at play? Scroll down to read more.
From the publisher:
Set in Victorian-era England, THE SHAPE OF DARKNESS follows silhouette artist Agnes Darken, who’s struggling to keep her business afloat, especially after her clients start turning up brutally murdered. Why is the killer targeting her – and is it of this world, or the next? With Spiritualism all the rage, even though she’s skeptical, Agnes turns toward a child spirit medium named Pearl for help connecting with the ghosts of her past and solving the murders. But the pair quickly discovers that something darker and more mysterious than they ever could have imagined is at play.
