SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: THE HALLS OF THE DEAD by S. M. Hallow
DESCRIPTION:A queer\\, gothic horror romance set in a necromancy-tinged L
 ondon\\, sure to entrance fans of The Death of Jane Lawrence and Mexican 
 Gothic.\\nWe&#8217\\;re thrilled to welcome S.M. Hallow to The Twisted 
 Spine in conversation with Nicholas Kaufmann (THE HUNGRY EARTH) on Augu
 st 17!\\nAbout THE HALLS OF THE DEAD\\nLondon\\, December 1849­\\nIrene
  Shallcross Haley has dedicated her life to necromancy\\, a forbidden\\, 
 reviled art that is passed along through sentient grimoires bound in huma
 n skin. With her undead husband St. John—a marriage of kindred spirits 
 and platonic convenience—she has been protecting the knowledge of gener
 ations of witches that came before her. Like any magic\\, it has come at 
 a cost: her reputation\\, her relationship with her sister\\, and her sou
 l. But when Irene’s love\\, Agnes\\, is hanged for witchcraft\\, Irene 
 refuses to let Agnes be one more thing that is taken from her.\\nA true r
 esurrection has not been achieved in two thousand years\\, but Irene is d
 etermined. With the help of St. John\\, Irene bangs on the doors of the H
 alls of the Dead\\, demanding the third part of their triumverate back…
 or did she? Because the Agnes that awakens comes with both a hunger for r
 aw flesh and a malignant ghost tied to her soul.\\nNecromancy is the art 
 of saying no—no\\, I won&#8217\\;t let you go\\; no\\, I won&#8217\\;t 
 let you be destroyed—and Irene’s work is not yet done. She must find 
 a way to bring Agnes back to her true self\\, she must navigate her feeli
 ngs for her resurrected lover as well as St. John\\, and she must do all 
 of this without catching the attention of Sir Silas Underhill\\, the man 
 who sentenced Agnes to death.\\nDeath is not the end of love. But Irene m
 ay realize it can actually be the beginning.\\nhttps://www.gayout.com/usa
