This book is a love letter to stories and storytelling, myths and fables, symbols and imagination. This was haunting and magical, foreboding and whimsical in a way only Erin Morgenstern can achieve. This is a story in which something new can be discovered every time you read it. Breathtaking.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST BOOK RELEASE OF 2019 FOR ME!
Seven years ago I read a fantastic book called The Night Circus and it helped me fall in love with books and fantasy. I can still recall most of the novel vividly. And I’d almost given up hope that the author would write another novel, then I found out about this!
I'm so damn EXCITED about it. Only one year to go and then I can read it! I really hope she delivers it with the same skill so I can rave about it on here.

GUESS WHO IS BACK TO FUCK ME UP ONCE MORE
I always imagine Erin Morgenstern's books like paintings. She is that good as describing things.

From Entertainment Weekly:
Here’s the official synopsis for The Starless Sea: “Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a strange book hidden in the library stacks. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors, and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood. Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues ...more

Being a bookseller is a privilege, and nothing shows that more than being sent this wonderful book months early. Thank you so much Vintage for giving me the book I've been dreaming of. It is hard to describe this book without spoilers or too much fangirling, but I shall try.
Erin Morgenstern is my favourite author of all time. I have a number of copies of her first book, The Night Circus, which I have read repeatedly since I bought it the first time about 7/8 years ago. I've been patiently waiti ...more

Magnificent. Reminds me of Neil Gaiman, but it surpasses him in the atmosphere and beauty of the writing. An ode to stories and readers that examines what a story is and what it can be. Many sections of it are like if the #bookstagram hashtag became sentient and wrote a book. Definitely a story you'll want to get lost in.
I will cross a thousand starless seas just to have this book in my hands.
Update May 2019
This cover looks slightly familiar . . .
Prereview November 2018
A) I have not yet read The Night Circus but this sounds amazing!
B) the sea is already starless, there are no giant balls of burning gas in the ocean if you haven't noticed.

I remember picking up a black, white, and red book in 2013 that looked like a beautiful, gothic escape. I remember reading it furiously, page after page, in the backseat of my parent's car as we drove to Minnesota. I remember finishing it on a bumpy highway with the sun on my face, and immediately realizing that my perspective had been reorganized to fit this new piece of my heart in book form.
I have been waiting for this since 2013 without even realizing it. Can't wait, can't believe it's comi ...more

This...this sounds beautiful? And everything I love in my books?
'When I started working on my new novel, I thought I was writing a book about books, but as it turns out I was writing a book about stories,' the author said in a statement. 'Stories and choices and change and also time and fate and video games. It took quite a while to get it all to fit in a single book, even down to the bees.'
THANK YOU FOR MY LIFE @ ERIN MORGENSTERN
