I’m LOVING historical fiction, from realistic to borderline fantasy, and I love a gothic horror. I love a good mystery and just finished “A Most Agreeable Murder” which was such a fun read. I’m very open to more serious books too! Any and all recommendations are welcome.

I just read a historical fiction called The Seven Daughters of Dupree by Nikesha Elise Williams and it was wonderful. The biggest complaint seems to be that people don’t like that you’re following the storylines of seven daughters which I completely understand someone not liking, but it not as complicated as it might seem if you only read reviews, I promise.
Of course, if you’re going into any version of historical fiction horror, the most common historical fiction I think people will recommend here, and I will be one of those people, is Kindred by Octavia E Butler, which I’m sure is on your read or to be read list
Try The Alienist by Caleb Carr, The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, or Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell for a darker historical vibe.
Hmm, how about an MMM historical fiction with low fantasy elements set in Wales?? It’s one of my favorite reads
