About Cinder House by Freya Marske
Freya Marske reimagines Cinderella as a queer Gothic romance. Ella is a ghost, murdered at sixteen and trapped in her father’s house, unseen by everyone except her stepmother and stepsisters. Though she learns to leave the house, the living cannot see or hear her, and every midnight she is returned to the staircase where she died.
A wary friendship with a fairy charm-seller leads to a bargain: three nights of almost-living freedom, in which Ella can be seen, danced with, and touched. This novella suits readers drawn to romantic fantasy, Gothic atmosphere, and fresh takes on familiar fairy tales.
