Molly O’Sullivan is a cybersecurity engineer turned speculative fiction writer with a love of nature, tea, and characters who, despite everything, still manage to hope. Originally from South Carolina, she has lived all over the country but now resides outside Seattle with her husband, two children, and curmudgeonly dog.
O’Sullivan's debut novel is The Book of Autumn.
At The Nerd Daily she tagged six books (plus one short story) that "experiment with form and structure to create an engaging and immersive experience that wholeheartedly sucks you into the story." One title on the list:
The Historian by Elizabeth KostovaRead about another novel on O’Sullivan's list.
A story within a story that spans time periods, continents, and characters, this follows a young historian who discovers a mysterious book and cache of letters in her father’s library, plunging her into her father’s past and a search for truth about Vlad the Impaler, the medieval ruler who inspired the legend of Dracula. Much of the story is told in letters by her father and historical research through ancient documents. You really feel like it’s all real as you dive into the different texts.
The Historian is among Mark Skinner's ten top vampire books and Lauren Owen's top ten vampire books.
