Now on Kindle+: The Winter of Haunted Hearts
The Victorians understood that the coldest nights called for the eeriest stories—a fire, a hush, and someone leaning in to say, come closer and listen to a tale you'll never forget. This tradition is where my collection of original gothic stories was born, and today I'm thrilled to announce it's finally out in the world.
The Winter of Haunted Hearts: 10 Tales of Gothic Romance, Mystery, and Magic for Winter Nights is now available to read free on Kindle+. If you're a subscriber to Kindle+, you won't want to miss it!
Ten stories, set mostly in the shadowy corners of nineteenth-century New York State, each turning on love in one of its many guises—devoted, dangerous, grieving, or redeemed. There are ghosts and revenants, a vampire, a creature in the thorns, a young nurse who meets someone who shouldn't be there. A few will make you hold your breath. One or two might make you smile. All of them are meant for a chilly night, a blanket, and someone else's hand to hold, because you won't want to be alone when you read them.
If a gothic atmosphere and yearning heartaches haunt you, I'd love for you to curl up with The Winter of Haunted Hearts. Read it now on Kindle+. If you're having a hard time finding the book, use the search term: 'Judith Vila' and the book should deliver links to Kindle+ and Kindle, as well as the print version.
As a wanderer in gothic woods, you might want to explore more stories like those in the book. If that sounds intriguing, come over to my Substack, Romance at a Dark Wood's Edge—that's where the most interesting conversations happen--including peeks behind my writing veil and experimental scribblings of things that are dark and dangerous, yet full of love.
Until then, dear wanderers, I'm yours from the dark wood's edge...
