Kalie Cassidy was born and raised in Southern California and spent over a decade working in LA as a professional theater actor, coach, and acting teacher. She now lives in Cleveland, Ohio with her two children and husband. She spends most of her time dreaming up new stories in her library, gardening, walking the nearby woods, and learning about “real” weather.
Cassidy's new novel is In the Veins of the Drowning.
At Lit Hub she tagged seven titles that explore the myths of sirens. One book on the list:
Emilia Hart, The SirensRead about the other entries on the list at Lit Hub.
I loved Hart’s debut, Weyward, and waited impatiently for her sophomore novel about sisters separated by time but bound together by the sea. Unsurprisingly, it was worth the wait. The Sirens is a compelling mix of contemporary, historical, and speculative fiction told through multiple points of view, mysterious dreams, and magical revelations.
With one set of sisters on a convict ship set for Australia and the other managing haunting images, a strange skin condition, and stories of men going missing, I was utterly engrossed. And as always, Hart’s prose is immaculate.
