Book Review: The Shadow Glass by Josh Winning | A Love Letter to 80s Fantasy Nostalgia

Leave a Comment / Book Reviews / / , , ,

Josh Winning’s The Shadow Glass wasn’t on my radar until a bookish friend of mine, Ven of Ven’s_Corner posted a review about it. He mentioned how the book had an 80s nostalgic feel to it because of the characters and storyline. ‘80s nostalgia’ seems to be a buzz phrase for me, so I took a chance and borrowed The Shadow Glass from my local library.

On my nightstand is too many books. My June 2023 is already extremely muddled. I am in a rush to move, preparing for my first cruise, and have several deadlines to meet at work before I leave at the end of the month.

Dracula, No Contractions, and Neverending Love – Darknesses by Lachelle Seville, A Queer Vampire Romance

Remember when I said I had Darknesses on my nightstand and needed to read it soon? Well, I finally did it; it was quite an adventure.

Darknesses by Lachelle Seville is a sapphic, gothic, Dracula-inspired novel that has had traction in the book community circles I follow. I chose the book purely by faith in the readers that suggested, and as usual, I didn’t know what I was getting into. That’s nothing new. Now, having finished the book, I wish I would have asked them why they enjoyed it.
