Books by Seanan McGuire
Seanan McGuire lives and works in Washington State, where she shares her somewhat idiosyncratic home with her collection of books, creepy dolls, and enormous blue cats. When not writing–which is fairly rare–she enjoys travel, and can regularly be found any place where there are cornfields, haunted houses, or frogs. A Campbell, Hugo, and Nebula Award-winning author, Seanan’s first book (Rosemary and Rue, the beginning of the October Daye series) was released in 2009, with more than twenty books across various series following since.
“In this book, there’s a special home for teenagers who have been through a portal, and come back, and can’t find their way out again. They love their worlds. Nancy has been in the land of the dead, and she desperately misses the slow, quiet transcendence of that world. Her heart is broken. Of course, no one believes her – until she is taken to Miss West, who runs the home and the others under her care, who have all gone through their own doorways.” Read more...
