About this book

In Victorian England, a young woman inherits her father’s curiosity shop and all its ghostly secrets in a bewitching novel by the author of Salt & Broom.

It’s 1851 in old York. Lizzy Grimm struggles to save her late father’s charmingly creepy yet floundering antique shop, Grimm Curiosities. Then, during a particularly snowy December in this most haunted city in England, things turn…curiouser.

Lizzy meets Antony Carlisle, whose sister suffers from the same perplexing affliction as Lizzy’s mother—both stricken silent and unresponsive after speaking with ghosts. Working closely together to fathom what power has transformed their loved ones and why, Lizzy and Antony discover an important clue: her father’s treasured set of rare books on ancient folktales, enchantments, and yuletide myths. Books that a persistent collector is awfully keen to purchase. Books Lizzy can’t bear to sell.

Every bewitching passage and illustration opens a doorway to something ancient and dangerously inviting. Keys to a mystery Lizzy and Antony are compelled to solve—even if doing so means unleashing one of this bright holiday’s darkest myths.

A Most Agreeable Excursion into the Supernatural: A Review of Grimm Curiosities

May 3, 2025

It is with considerable delight that I recount my experience with Grimm Curiosities, a most charming and atmospheric tale set in the venerable city of York during the 1880s. The author, with great care and an evident affection for the period, transports the reader to a time when The Shambles bustled with the sanguine trade of butchers, the cobblestones slick with history and perhaps something more spectral. This novel may well be called a ghost story, though it is no mere frightful diversion....

stumbled upon gold

I’ll be honest, I was scrolling through kindle unlimited looking for something trashy and vaguely mind numbing to read after a long day at work when my husband distracted me and I accidentally hit the button to download this. I shrugged and thought “well, it’s on my kindle, I should read it I guess,” and I am so thrilled that I did. This book has everything I love: romance, magic, mystery, ghosts, folklore, and the list goes on. I knew it was going to be a five star book before I even hit 25%....

Great quick mystery with a cozy atmosphere

November 12, 2024

When I got this book, I was not expecting the Christmas atmosphere that was through out the book. I was pleasantly surprised at the cozy feel of the book along with the suspense that I expected to be there. This book has Christmas, folklore, ghost, mystery, and historical social society drama all in one. It’s set in the mid 1800s. Lizzy Grimm’s father is gone and her and her mother have a shop to keep running so that they can pay bills and such. There are a lot of things against Lizzy including...
