The Bone Key: The Necromantic Mysteries of Kyle Murchison Booth
The dead and the monstrous will not leave Kyle Murchison Booth alone, for an unwilling foray into necromancy has made him sensitive to--and attractive to--the creatures who roam the darkness of his once-safe world. Ghosts, ghouls, incubi: all have one thing in common. They know Booth for one of their own . . .

About the author
Sarah Monette
90 books1,026 followersMy pseudonym is Katherine Addison. Katherine reviews nonfiction. Sarah reviews fiction. Fair warning: I read very little fiction these days.
I was born and raised in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, one of the secret cities of the Manhattan Project. I studied English and Classics in college, and have gone on to get my M.A. and Ph.D. in English Literature. My first four novels were published by Ace Books. I have written two collaborations with Elizabeth Bear for Tor: A Companion to Wolves and The Tempering of Men. My short stories have appeared in lots of different places, including Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, Weird Tales, and Strange Horizons; I've published two collections of short stories, Somewhere Beneath Those Waves and The Bone Key. I collect books, and my husband collects computer parts, so our living space is the constantly contested border between these two imperial ambitions.

Excelente antología de cuentos enlazados donde el protagonista, un reconocido curador de un museo muy similar en tamaño, extensión, y cantidad de colecciones al Smithsoniano, tiene aventuras paranormales, en parte debido a los objetos con los que trabaja, en parte por meterse donde sabe que no debería ir pero cree que puede ayudar. Los relatos obviamente son de terror y están escritos como terror gótico, una excelente mezcla muy bien lograda de trama y estilo literario. Hay pocas antologías como esta joyita escondida, y más gente debería disfrutarla.
