About the Book

Starling House by Alix E. Harrow is a haunting, atmospheric standalone gothic fantasy from the bestselling author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January and The Once and Future Witches. Set in the fading, decaying town of Eden, Kentucky, the novel follows Opal, a fiercely determined young woman scraping by to support her younger brother, who becomes drawn to the town's most infamous and forbidden landmark: Starling House, a crumbling, mysterious mansion said to be cursed, built by a reclusive and troubled author generations ago.

When Opal manages to talk her way into a job working for the house's strange, reclusive heir, she finds herself pulled into the buried secrets of the Starling family, the house's eerie, almost sentient architecture, and a decades-old darkness that seems to be stirring beneath the town itself. As Opal grows closer to uncovering the truth — about the house, its guardian, and her own family's tangled connection to Eden's troubled history — she must confront both the literal and metaphorical monsters lurking beneath the town's surface.

Blending gothic atmosphere, dark fairy-tale sensibility, and Harrow's signature lyrical prose, Starling House has resonated with readers for its richly drawn small-town setting, slow-burn romance, and unflinching exploration of poverty, grief, and belonging, cementing Harrow's reputation as one of the most compelling voices in modern fantasy.
