The House of Cursed Daughters

A blood curse that will not break, carried down through seven centuries and three women: that is the shadow at the heart of C.J. Cooke's The House of Cursed Daughters, a novel about inheritance in the darkest sense. The publisher's blurb describes a story of three women and one unbreakable curse, and the book's sense of dread grows as the family history unfolds.

Cooke is known for gothic fiction that pairs creeping dread with real beauty, and Scots Magazine has praised her ability to craft spellbinding tales of dread and terror. This is a book for anyone who likes their family histories haunted and their evenings a little uneasy.
