“This Poison Heart” by Kalynn Bayron

This Poison Heart has secrets, lies and magic. What more could you ask for?

There seems to be a trend in modern fiction right now in which authors draw from the classic (and sometimes problematic) books of generations past. In addition to novels like Nghi Vo's The Chosen and The Beautiful, which reimagines The Great Gatsby, and anthologies that revisit Poe and King Arthur, many others are taking a look at the mysterious and weird English classics of the past like the ever-popular The Secret Garden.
