The opening screen of the video for "Missing Students and Their Fictional Afterlives: True Crime, Crime Fiction, and Dark Academia" by Amy H. Sturgis, with an image of a newspaper clipping from 1897 that reads "Missing from the College: Strange Disappearance of Miss Bertha Lane Mellish."


In letzter Zeit habe ich mehrfach Klappentexte zu YA oder NA bzw. Romantasy Mischungen mit gelesen. Allmählich zeichnet sich da ein Muster ab:

Jugendliche oder junge Frau ist irgendwie besonders und muss ihre magischen oder sonstwie übernatürlichen Fähigkeiten in einer Akademie schulen. In der Akademie passieren merkwürdige oder mysteriöse Dinge, außerdem ist da auch ein sehr attraktiver junger Mann oder Jugendlicher, der irgendein Geheimnis hat.

Ja, ich weiß, das Jahr ist noch nicht sooo alt, aber dieses Buch ist für mich schon jetzt ein Jahreshighlight.😍

"A Midsummer's Nightmare" (Urban Fantasy, Dark Academia) von Noah Stoffers.
Und aus Gründen weise ich noch mal darauf hin und teile ich meine :

Das Buchcover erinnert an eine stilisierte Tarotkarte, mit Illustrationen von zwei Händen, einem Herz, einem Totenschädel, Strahlen, Sternen und mehr.

Do you like slow-burn epic fantasy mashed up with domestic fantasy? Ever read an epic fantasy that started in a kitchen and thought, "Damn, I wish there was more of that!"

Well, so did I and that is what I took into writing this series!

Think kitchens, a Kitchen Witch, lots of loving descriptions of food amidst byzantine conflict, political machinations and wars between merkingdoms. Plus, mermaids and faeries in a postcolonial portal fantasy universe. That's the Cantata of the Fourfold Realms, and Watermyth is the first novel.

Ebook discount period until 29 February 2024!
