A Bloodsmoor Romance Wydawca: Ecco Press Opis produktu A Bloodsmoor Romance by Joyce Carol Oates opens like a dare: a darkly comic, Gothic historical romance that reimagines 19th-century America with time machines, spirit séances, and a scandal that shatters a family. Set in an alternate Victorian-era United States, this American historical novel follows the audacious Zinn sisters after their sister is taken by a mysterious black-silk balloon. Told in a breathless Victorian style by an aghast narrator, the book blends satire, murder, ghosts, and social critique into a richly plotted romance novel — and a subversive anti-romance. Readers seeking a Gothic romance, historical romance, or a feminist literary novel will find sharp pleasures here: Oates spins a novel of manners that evokes Austen and Dickens while interrogating women's suffrage, gender identity, spiritualism, and American culture. Fans of mystery novels, crime fiction with a literary edge, and Victorian-era novels will enjoy the mixture of macabre humor and social commentary. This English book edition — ideal as a hardcover or paperback collectible — is for readers who search for 19th-century gothic romance novels, Joyce Carol Oates paperback editions, or darkly comic historical fiction. Whether you want a haunting page-turner, a satirical portrait of genre, or a discussion-worthy book club pick, A Bloodsmoor Romance delivers. Bold, bizarre, and brilliant, Joyce Carol Oates's lost classic is both an homage and a provocation. Pick up this historical romance today — buy the paperback or order online and dive into a uniquely American Gothic tale.
