Description
Owen King's The Curator is a beautifully crafted tale that straddles fantasy and modernist literature. Set in a world that seems both familiar and slightly off-kilter, this novel follows the story of Dora, a young maid with a secret, as she becomes embroiled in a revolution that threatens to upend her life. As Dora delves deeper into the mystery of her brother's death, she uncovers a sinister conspiracy that leads her to the enigmatic Museum of the Worker. This strange and forgotten edifice is home to waxwork tableaux of ordinary people, brought to life by forces both magical and terrifying. With its sly humor, sensuality, and strangeness, The Curator is a Dickensian fantasy that will keep you on the edge of your seat. As the revolution rages on outside, Dora's search for the truth brings her to the very edge of worlds. With its unique blend of politics, illusion, and charm, this novel is a worthwhile read for fans of dark fantasy and horror.
