Houdini Heart ReviewAs in love as I am with Longfellow's extraordinary historical and mystical novels The Secret Magdalene: A Novel and Flow Down Like Silver (Hypatia of Alexandria), I was surprised to find she has written a horror story. Since I happen to like horror, and because this is Longfellow, I read the book. How do I feel? In a word, haunted. I think I mean in the way one is haunted by the works of Shirley Jackson. Houdini Heart is truly one of a kind, even if compared to Jackson. In it, Longfellow's lead character is helpless, funny, resourceful, perhaps mad, perhaps not, and deadly, a thrilling combination. A writer lost in her own creations, or a woman lost in the "real" world? I never knew for sure. All I know now is that within a few pages I was as lost in the witty, literate, eerie and terrifying world Longfellow made of the Vermont town of Little Sokoki (where River House "still stands") as the woman whose story this is. I'm also deeply impressed that Longfellow can switch writing styles with such seeming ease. This is written in a voice totally unlike her historical work. It's deceptively light until it grows deceptively darker and darker...and darker. I suspect Longfellow is haunted, or was. Perhaps this book has exorcised some of those demons. Perhaps not. But I have little doubt that once discovered, Houdini Heart, a masterful blend of elegant literary fiction and deeply creepy genre fiction, will become a classic.Houdini Heart OverviewHOUDINI HEART harkens back to the masters of suspenseful supernatural horror: Poe, Lovecraft, Shirley Jackson, but speaks with a wholly fresh voice.Once caught in its pages, there's no escaping Longfellow's terrible tale.Weeks ago, she was one of Hollywood's biggest writers, wed to one of its greatest stars.The doting mother of their golden child. But now? She's alone, tortured by a horrifying secret no woman could bear. Pursued by those she can't outrun, anguished by a guilt she can't endure, and driven close to madness, she flees to the one place she's ever called home: a small town in Vermont where River House still stands. To a child, the splendid hotel was mysterious and magical and all its glamorous guests knew delicious secrets.Cocooned in its walls, she will write one last book. Her atonement?Or her suicide note? But life is never as you dream it, and River House isn't what she'd always imagined it was. Intense, literary, and harrowing, Houdini Heart is a tale of bone-chilling horror, emotional torment, and psychological terror. Gripped by River House, trapped in an aging hotel of mirrors only Houdini could escape, how much can haunt a mind before it too is only a thing once imagined? "A haunting and disturbing journey through the psyche."-Erika Mailman, Author of "The Witch's Trinity"
