CAT’S BOOK
In 1918, the world seems on the verge of apocalypse. Americans roam the streets in gauze masks to ward off the deadly Spanish influenza, and the government ships young men to the front lines of a brutal war, creating an atmosphere of fear and confusion. Sixteen-year-old Mary Shelley Black watches as desperate mourners flock to séances and spirit photographers for comfort, but she herself has never believed in ghosts. During her bleakest moment, however, she’s forced to rethink her entire way of looking at life and death, for her first love—a boy who died in battle—returns in spirit form. But what does he want from her?
Featuring haunting archival early-twentieth-century photographs, this is a tense, romantic story set in a past that is eerily like our own time.
NEXT WEEK on 25 Things: LB Schulman
This was such a fun idea! I just wanted to say that I'm already a fan of Cat's (she's so nice!) and that I can't wait for In the Shadow of Blackbirds! Thanks for sharing these little tidbits with us, I love things like this :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't she a doll! I did her bookmarks and postcards too - and working her was such a treat! So happy she kicked this off for me!
DeleteThanks so much to both of you for the kind remarks! And thanks for hosting me here, Amber! I love the fact that I could help you kick off this new feature.

ReplyDeleteThank you! It takes a little extra time, but I really think it's worth it!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading BLACKBIRDS right now and it's so, so good. It gave me nightmares last night though. Oh yes it did.
ReplyDeleteThank you, April! Sorry about the nightmares, but I'm deviously delighted that the book worked its way into your dreams. :)
