Tamsyn Muir's necromantic science fantasy debut Gideon the Ninth is the most fun you'll ever have with a skeleton
Tamsyn Muir is a horror, fantasy and sci-fi author whose short fiction has been nominated for the Nebula Award, the Shirley Jackson Award, the World Fantasy Award and the Eugie Foster Memorial Award. A Kiwi, she has spent most of her life in Howick, New Zealand, with time living in Waiuku and central Wellington. She currently lives and works in Oxford, in the United Kingdom. Gideon the Ninth is her first novel.
Muir effortlessly compiles macabre humor, body horror, secrets, and
tenderness into the stitched-together corpse of a dark universe,
then brings it to life with a delightfully chaotic, crackling cast
of characters and the connective tissue of their relationships.
*Publishers Weekly starred review*
Gideon the Ninth is a whirlwind of dark fantasy and dark humor, all
wrapped up in sarcastic, delightfully sapphic Gideon Nav. The
narrative oozes with voice and every sentence rattles with Gideon's
disaffected attitude and the creepiness of skeleton bones.
