In this episode of Lost in Fiction, Emily and Alex step into the eerie, mist-drenched world of One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig. Set in the gothic kingdom of Blunder, they unravel a story steeped in dark folklore and laced with a magic system unlike any they’ve seen before, one ruled by the fever, the Providence Cards, and the Spirit of the Wood. As they follow Elspeth’s journey, they find themselves haunted by ever-present riddles of the yellow-eyed Nightmare in her mind and consumed by a tale of black-clad highwaymen moonlighting on forest roads. Join Emily and Alex as they lose themselves in the shadows of this lush debut and ask the question: when all magic comes with a price, are you willing to pay?
