Anna Alcott is desperate to have a family. But as she tries to balance her increasingly public life as an indie actress with a grueling IVF journey, she starts to suspect that someone is going to great lengths to make sure that never happens. Crucial medicines are lost. Appointments get swapped without her knowledge. Cryptic warnings have her jumping at shadows. And despite everything she's gone through to make this pregnancy a reality, not even her husband is willing to believe that someone is playing twisted games with her.

Some new ideas with some cut and paste
Revisado: 09-26-23
Not quite the “Rosemary’s Baby” knockoff that it’s made out to be but borrows more from Susperia than anything else.
Pretty engaging plot but tiresome gaslighting procedural that becomes predictable until the end. Could have take more risks than “someone is trying to hurt me and everyone is in on it…OR ARE THEY?”
The AHS show already combined and condensed characters but right up Ryan Murphy’s alley with desperate actors, snowy beaches and his penchant for gaslight stories.
I listened to bug my partner about what’s different while the show airs.

Memories, fears, the fog of nightmares... Five years after a series of Dante-inspired killings stunned Boston, a politician is found in a London park with his neck crushed by an enormous stone device etched with a verse from the Divine Comedy. When other shocking deaths erupt across the city, all in the style of the penances Dante memorialized in Purgatory, poet Christina Rossetti fears her missing brother, the artist and writer Dante Gabriel Rossetti, will be the next victim.

The narrator matters, the story is abstract.

After listening to The Dante Club and it’s wonderful narration I was thoroughly disappointed by the narration of The Dante Chamber. I understand the change of location may have required a more British-leaning cadence but I sorely missed the performances of repeat characters from the previous book.
The story is just ok. The “twist” comes late and in an exposition dump of about 10 minutes that seemed so rushed and wasted when it could have been more tightly woven in the first part of the book. I did thoroughly enjoy the imagery of opioid and laudanum induced painters and scholars in England but the reliance of Dante puns became a bit eye-rolling. There’s a reason “Inferno” is the most widely read of the divine comedy and The Dante Chamber doesn’t always hold up to the Dante Club much like inferno and Purgatorio.
I would reluctantly recommend, if not for the unconventional twist.

Gage Chandler is descended from kings. That’s what his mother always told him. Years later, he is a true crime writer, with one grisly success—and a movie adaptation—to his name, along with a series of subsequent less notable efforts. But now he is being offered the chance for the big break: to move into the house where a pair of briefly notorious murders occurred, apparently the work of disaffected teens during the Satanic Panic of the 1980s.

Imagery lacking cohesive narrative
Revisado: 02-08-22
Two, no three stories, really. None complete or fleshed out. A rambling second person dialogue that lapses into old English, jumps from story to story to story and ultimately doesn’t complete any full narrative. The author enjoys his own work, though which makes the narration stand out.

And a few weeks ago, the vicar of the local parish hanged himself in the nave of the church.

Instead, Jack finds a town rife with conspiracies and secrets, and is greeted with a strange welcome package.

Not LGBTQ friendly
Revisado: 11-22-21
Blatant, outdated and unnecessary use of “Gay Panic” as a motive for a murder that adds nothing to plot. Oh so edgy main characters. Skip it. Also, SAME themes in Chalk Man. Author clearly has issues with lgbtq people and portrays them as predatory. Boomer trash.
