Praise for The Fourth Wife “The Fourth Wife serves up a new kind of gothic thrill: a tale of plural marriage, brimming with religious manipulation, the deadly secrets a house can hold, and the richly deserved and very bloody consequences from beyond. Linda Hamilton, you had me at ‘The Lord needs me to give you a commandment.’” —Emily Carpenter, author of Gothictown ""A chilling reinvention of the gothic tradition—purposeful, poignant, and utterly terrifying. Each page hums with unease, from crumbling corridors to menacing madness. Hamilton conjures a not-so-distant past where grief takes form, memory festers, and horror grows like mold in the dark. This is not the gothic of candlelight and corsets—it’s something far stranger, and far more disturbing."" —A. Rae Dunlap, USA Today bestselling author of The Resurrectionist
