Our Illumicrate November theme is . . . ANTI-HERO!
There’s blood on their hands and a stolen blade at their hip, but beneath the veneer they have a kind heart – they’re no saint, but they bear the mantle of anti-hero well.
Our November Illumicrate book is Starling House by Alix E. Harrow! Low on money, a young woman takes a job at a mysterious old house steeped in history. But she gets more than she bargained for, as sinister forces are converging on the slowly rotting building. Together with the house’s brooding heir, she must uncover the house’s secrets—lest nightmares destroy them all.
