So yes, I skipped the rest of the pages to the very end.I didn’t find the story all that interesting and didn’t really care about w...
My Rating: 3.0 When I first heard that there was a book coming out called The Madman's Daughter, I just knew I had to get my hands on it.

Loyal to the Victorian Gothic horror, The Madman's Daughter begins in London and leads to an uncharted, remote island where experiments in the interest of science border on the insane...
I'll admit something: I wasn't sure I really wanted to read this book. Why? Because historical fiction bores the crap out of me. I avoid it like the plague. But this book...it didn't bore me. Not one single bit.I was intrigued from the very beginning, and my interest only grew with each page I ...

I suppose I could start by saying that I picked it up while reading Ann Radcliffe's The Italian, which was published in 1797 and is considered one of the very first Gothic thrillers. Reading these two...
