Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Mix M. R. James, H. P. Lovecraft, psycho-sexual themes, a heavy dose of The Statement of Randolph Carter, and what do you get? A series of short stories chronicling the necromantic mysteries of one Kyle Murchison Booth. Taking place in an ambiguous between the wars setting in an equally ambiguous American city, this series by Sarah Monette follows the adventures of Booth (just Booth. No one calls him Kyle), as he relates his supernatural mishaps in anxious first person. Read along and watch the world fall apart all around him.The series of shorts are all collected in The Bone Key, with the exception of the most recent five, four of which have been collected into limited run for-charity chap-book called Unnatural Creatures. The author has said that she intends to release another, larger anthology similar to that of The Bone Key when she has written enough short stories to properly fill it.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) |

Anachronism Stew: Mostly avoided because of how nebulous the setting is, but one thing's for sure: Booth's a few decades too early to be named Kyle. |

Back from the Dead: What else do you think a horror story called Bringing Helena Back is going to be about? |

Abusive Parents: Guardians, in this case, but it's a given. This story is written by Sarah Monette, after all. Compared to her other works, Booth gets off light. |
