Enter the House of the Beast

'As darkly whimsical as the most beloved fairy tales and soaked in gothic atmosphere. The gorgeous and evocative illustrations bring to life an unforgettably lush and hypnotically romantic story, framed in shadows and sharp edges' Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning

Step into the House of the Beast with this dark fantasy debut from The Legend of Korra graphic novel illustrator Michelle Wong featuring illustrations throughout by the author.

You are a very lucky young lady, to be chosen by the Dread Beast.

Alma would not have chosen the Beast. But when her mother falls ill, she is not left with the luxury of choice. After all, luxury was never something they could afford.

Forced into a desperate bargain with her estranged father and his house, one of the noble families that serve the gods and wield their powers, she irrevocably binds herself to the Dread Beast, the most fearsome of the gods. However, it is a vow made in vain when death comes for her mother anyway.

Now vengeance is Almas sole aim. And she has a god on her side a beautiful, eldritch monster with starlit hair. The Beast that has chosen her.

A darkly enchanting fairy tale with blood on its teeth, House of the Beast is a story of revenge, resilience, and the power of love to see us through the darkness beautifully illustrated throughout by the author.

'A beguiling tale of strange gods, cosmic horrors, and ruinous revenge, House of the Beast dazzled me. With compelling characters and masterful worldbuilding, Wongs debut is sure to become a celebrated classic' Erin A. Craig, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Thirteenth Child
