Description
The New Wifeย is a bloody tale of ghosts, vengeance, and dark curses from the award-winning Kirstyn McDermott, sure to appeal fans of Angela Carterโs The Bloody Chamber and Angela Slatterโs Sourdough stories.
Bluebeardโs seventh wife is the first to survive his wrath, courtesy of ghostly warnings and the timely intervention of her brothers. The village burns her murderous husband, his crimes laid bare and his wealth passed on to herโฆ but even after his death, Bluebeardโs house wonโt allow anyone to leave. All wivesโliving and deadโremain trapped in their husbandโs manor, even as the man who terrorised them proves to be less dead than they had hoped.
Haunted by his vengeful ghost, can the wives find a way to break the curse that would bind them in darkness and torment forever?
The New Wife is the second novella in Kirstyn McDermottโs Never Afters series. Dark, powerful, and brimming with magic, these tales weave a reimagined world in which fairy-tale girls grow up to find both love and heartbreak, family and friendship, and moments of loss and forgiveness.
