The Phantom of Linkshire Manor
First published in the gothic romance anthology Bound in Skin, “The Phantom of Linkshire Manor” is now available as a stand-alone story for the first time.
Anna Forrester, a young physician’s assistant, is summoned to care for James Rothwell, the handsome master of Linkshire Manor, after he is bedridden from an unusual illness. Anna agrees to stay in the house to oversee Mr. Rothwell’s recovery, but she soon finds that the master’s symptoms are only one of Linkshire’s many mysteries. There are cries and whispers heard at night, servants acting suspiciously, and rumors that the death of Mr. Rothwell’s wife might not have been the suicide it’s been claimed to be.
Inspired by classic gothic romances, this novella from New York Times-bestselling author Marissa Meyer weaves together a story of greed, betrayal, ambition… and love.

No fairy tale will ever seem quite the same again!

A Tyranny Of Petticoats
From an impressive sisterhood of YA writers comes an edge-of-your-seat anthology of historical fiction and fantasy featuring a diverse array of daring heroines.
Criss-cross America — on dogsleds and ships, stagecoaches and trains — from pirate ships off the coast of the Carolinas to the peace, love, and protests of 1960s Chicago. Join fifteen of today’s most talented writers of young adult literature on a thrill ride through history with American girls charting their own course. They are monsters and mediums, bodyguards and barkeeps, screenwriters and schoolteachers, heiresses and hobos. They’re making their own way in often-hostile lands, using every weapon in their arsenals, facing down murderers and marriage proposals. And they all have a story to tell.
This anthology includes my short story “Gold in the Roots of the Grass,” a ghost story set during the Black Hills Gold Rush in Deadwood, South Dakota.
