Empty Smiles by Katherine ArdenWhat is it that makes funfairs and carnivals so scary? Something Wicked This Way Comes and The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari both take place in carnivals, as do a few significant chapters of Stephen King’s It and several third season episodes of Stranger Things. I even recall that the third book of L.J. Smith’s The Forbidden Game ended in an abandoned funfair.

In historical fantasy, we are invited to see how the past might have looked if a given magical element existed. What is the appeal of this reimagining? I think everyone is a bit interested in the past. As a historian, certainly I am. I like to think that everyone likes the past in some way, even if they may not like the discipline of history. They like the idea of history. They watch movies about it, they read tons of books, they watch documentaries.

Dark Waters by Katherine ArdenThe third (but clearly not final, given its cliffhanger ending) book in the SMALL SPACES QUARTET sees our three eleven-year-old protagonists once more go up against “the Smiling Man,” an immortal fey creature who loves to make deals and play games with unsuspecting mortals. As I anticipated after Small Spaces and Dead Voices, it’s Brian’s turn to be front-and-center while Ollie and Coco take on supporting roles.

I'm typically not big on ghost stories. I like my fictional characters to be solid, corporeal and usually alive. So it's a testament to Katherine Arden's prior work that I eagerly awaited THE WARM HANDS OF GHOSTS, despite the fact that the word "ghosts" is right there in the title. This book is about ghosts, to be sure, and it has its fair share of haunts and spirits of various kinds --- not to mention one of the most memorable devils in recent fiction.
