Yellow Jessamine

"Starling's tale is rich, unsettling, and bleakly beautiful—like the poison garden at its heart, both lovely and deadly." — Kate Alice Marshall, author of Rules for Vanishing and I Am Still Alive

"Atmospheric and gothicly dark—Caitlin Starling weaves a tale with deep roots that unfurls in unexpected and chilling ways. There’s no subject she can’t tackle and make her own, and I’ll be first in line for everything she puts out there." — Laurel Hightower, author of Whispers in the Dark

"A steely apothecary and her loyal assistant are stalked by the rhizomes of paranormal menace. If Daphne du Maurier had pushed into fantasy, you might get something as good as this claustrophobic, Gothic-tinged story." — C.S. Malerich, author of The Factory Witches of Lowell

“This story of witchery and death unfurls itself one petal at a time until you will be happy to lay yourself amongst its whispering tendrils and just breathe it in.” — Jordan Shiveley, Dread Singles

"Yellow Jessamine is rife with desire and bitter with revenge, all of it cloaked in shadows. A creepy read perfect for a stormy night." — Lara Elena Donnelly, author of Amberlough

“A dark delicacy about poisonous women, mercantile espionage, and the slow rot of guilt. The twists and turns will wrap around your heart tighter than ivy around a decaying manor.” — S.T. Gibson, author of Robbergirl
