Some of their houses are haunted by the dead, some by the living. It’s not clear which is worse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe gothic, Carmen Maria Machado writes, is not a historical genre. It is alive, moving, operating today. Julie Doucet renders these interiors in dense, hallucinatory linocut, each room rendered as if the walls have already closed in. A mind coming apart under doctor's orders. A murder weapon buried in the night. An hour of freedom, and a heart that stops like a clock. Every room in this house hides a story. These are the women that told them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beehive Books","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":46990100398279,"sku":"diar-standard","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signed \u0026 Numbered","offer_id":46990100431047,"sku":"diar-signed","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sketched \u0026 Lettered","offer_id":46990100463815,"sku":"diar-lettered","price":1750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/2058\/1575\/files\/DIAR_White_background.jpg?v=1786632049","url":"https:\/\/www.beehivebooks.com\/products\/death-is-a-room","provider":"Beehive Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
