The House of Dead Maids

Clare B. Dunkle’s works have received numerous honors, including the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children’s Literature, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, and a Publishers Weekly Flying Start. The House of Dead Maids, a prelude to the classic Wuthering Heights, features Heathcliff, his newly arrived nursemaid Tabby Akroyd, and the restless ghost of the last maid. “Clare Dunkle creates a world filled with intense excitement, terror, beauty, and love—a world as persuasive as it is remarkable.”—Lloyd Alexander
