Critical Reviews
"Kathe Koja has achieved in Catherine the Ghost (2024) both a remarkable adaptation of Brontë's classic novel and an entirely independent work that can resonate with people who are unfamiliar with Brontë's passionate story of love and revenge." --Los Angeles Review of Books
"This brilliant retelling from Koja whisks readers to the wild English moors...Fans of the original will be thoroughly impressed." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
"A lush and evocative coda to Emily Brontë's 1847 gothic classic Wuthering Heights...Koja's moody novella explores the bonds that transcend death. Fans of feminist retellings of classic novels will enjoy this compelling corrective to Brontë's original." --Booklist"Catherine the Ghost is more than a retelling; it's a dark, lyrical love letter to the spirit of Wuthering Heights, reshaped through Koja's imagination." --Horror DNA
"It takes a writer of immense talent, passion and courage to reimagine one of gothic literature's greatest characters. With Catherine the Ghost, Kathe Koja demonstrates all three, in an eerie and elegant homage to the heroine of Wuthering Heights. A truly splendid tale of obsession that outlives the grave." --Elizabeth Hand, author of A Haunting on the Hill and Generation Loss
"A haunting meditation on broken promises and the dark underbelly of love." --Rae Wilde, author of Merciless Waters
"Kathe Koja divinely taps into the hereafter with Catherine the Ghost, summoning Wuthering Heights and beckoning Brontë to speak from beyond the veil. What they manifest together is a haunting meditation on love and literature, both for and from, two exquisite texts communing with one another across the centuries." --Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters
"A strange and beautiful ode to gothic literature, Catherine the Ghost takes the story of Wuthering Heights and turns it on its head in the most dark and devastating way. An absolute must-read." --Gwendolyn Kiste, author of Reluctant Immortals
"Dramatic and remarkably alluring with such a rich sense of poeticism, Catherine the Ghost is a literary seance that invokes the restless spirit of Brontë while showcasing the verve and magnificence of one of our finest visionaries: Kathe Koja." --Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
"Kathe Koja's Catherine the Ghost pays beautiful homage to the classic text, Koja's style conforming to Bronte's so seamlessly a true love is revealed, or perhaps a rivalry. This feels like Koja's heart, vulnerable and exposed." --Charlene Elsby, author of Violent Faculties and The Devil Thinks I'm Pretty
