For my first reads of 2023, I'm going with two academic and closely-related books. Both are excellent thus far: Industrial Gothic: Workers, Exploitation and Urbanization in Transatlantic Nineteenth-Century Literature by Bridget M. Marshall (2021) and The Murder of Mary Bean and Other Stories by Elizabeth A. DeWolfe (2007).
