* "A tour de force of reclaiming the narrative, executed with
impressive wit and insight."-- "Publishers Weekly, STARRED
REVIEW"
"If you're looking for adventure, kick-ass ladies, a good mystery,
and a touch of the monstrous, look no further--The Strange Case of
the Alchemist's Daughter is the brainy, gleefully madcap literary
mashup of your dreams."-- "B&N SciFi & Fantasy Blog"
"Theodora Goss' The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter
provides a new and altogether mesmerizing revelation for fans of
Watson & Holmes, Van Helsing, Jeckyll & Hyde, and Victor
Frankenstein: until now, you've only heard half the story. Goss'
deft, poetic interweaving of edge-of-the-seat adventure with the
artful voices of her characters creates a matryoshka doll of hidden
Gothic fiction in the best sense. The Strange Case of the
Alchemist's Daughter proves the point that behind every evil genius
you'll find a team of fantastic women working to set things right.
As if Charlie's Angels, as written by Mary Shelley, took over the
Bluestocking Society, with bonus well-mannered explosions. An
utterly delightful, transformative read."--Fran Wilde,
award-winning author of Updraft, Cloudbound, and Horizon
"Theodora Goss' splendid debut novel is a whipsmart look at the
truths hiding in the stories - Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein, and
others - that you might think you know. Full of bravery,
adventures, monsters, and sisters, The Strange Case of the
Alchemist's Daughter is a rich delight. I loved it, and I can't
wait to read the next book."--Kat Howard, author of ROSES AND ROT
