Laurel Rumbroom is the sole living resident of the Underhallow, where dead moths have been showing up at the gates in neatly wrapped packages.
Since the institution of the Revenant Accords, which prohibits ghosts from freely haunting the country, the Rumbrooms have acted as Guardians to the ghosts seeking refuge at their sanctuary. But when Laurel’s father suddenly passes, leaving her orphaned, the Underhallow falls in danger of losing its sanctions.
Bewildered by the mysterious deliveries of dead moths, starting to question her grip on reality, and gradually realizing the precarious position of her home and the questionable circumstances surrounding her father’s death, Laurel begs the help of the Underhallow ghosts animated by her powers, struggling to come into her own and unmake her madness.
With humor, whimsy, and elements of gothic mystery, A Madness Unmade is the first book in the Victorian-inspired Deathly Inheritance Duology, perfect for fans of Charlie N. Holmberg and S.L. Prater.
Starred Review
"Larson-Burnett delivers a rich, character-driven narrative that blends dark fantasy with emotional depth. A Madness Unmade is not just a story of necromancy and haunted spirits; it's an exploration of grief, belonging, and the complexities of power."
Lighthearted exchanges, paired with reflections on life and death, lend the story a sense of balance. It’s this blend of sombre introspection and witty reprieve that makes the novel resonate as both poignant and entertaining.

It's chaotic and beautiful and just a downright pleasure to read.
A playfulness similar to Haunted Mansion with a paranormal sentient house and ghosts galore, you'll devour this one trying to uncover the mystery.
