Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from Hachette Australia in exchange for an honest review.
I know you’ve heard it before, but I love Catherynne Valente and would gladly devour anything she writes, be it short stories, full-length novels, or daily tweets. I love the way she blends existing myth and folklore to construct sublime new worlds. With Radiance, she brings old Hollywood glamour and the age of silent film into celestial space. The result is an enchanting and dream-like mystery spanning across multiple genres.
“She is dead. Almost certainly dead. Nearly conclusively dead.
She is, at the very least, not answering her telephone.”
