Obviously I missed the end of December slightly! I hope you'll all forgive me. It was dark and cold and I fell asleep a lot.
Anyway, only a few new entries this month! (Let's hope Valentine's Day gets us more soon!)
Phantom of the Fringe by Ray Else is a surprise; I hadn't expected to see any more of Else's "Phantom" series, despite its name, since most of it is notably not based on Leroux's novel. But this one, where a man named Eric and his private eye girlfriend visit the Edinburgh Fringe Festival only to be nearly killed by a "faceless stranger" may be close enough?
Phantom Requiem: Hello Isabella by Paul George is... weird. It's set in the 1800s and features a Phantom who is the result of Science Gone Wrong Experiments, perhaps dragging in a little Jekyll & Hyde or The Island of Dr. Moreau to our classic literature jamboree, and he falls in love with Isabella, the leader of some sort of political group that rescued him. That's all we know and the generalized probably-stolen-fanart image in place of a cover doesn't help much!
Son of the Phantom by Katherine Willson is the third in her series of period retellings that follow the plot of The Phantom of Manhattan/Love Never Dies, so they're a very specific taste! In it, Gustave, now 14, is on the Titanic when it sinks, leading Erik to go on a desperate bender. How could it possibly go up any further from there?
That's all for now, but cross your fingers for next time!
