Vesper Holloway writes gothic horror-romance for readers who like their love stories candle-lit and the bindings slow to seal. Think Karina Halle, Harley Laroux, and Keri Lake — atmospheric, architectural, and unapologetically explicit. The Holloway Houses is her connected-world series of standalones, each one haunting a different cursed seat where the architecture watches the lovers as carefully as the ghosts do.
