"Transporting us to a Manila of dark romance and ghosts, Clarissa Gonzalez's Celestina's House is a gothic that reminds us how the past is never wholly escapable, never quiet. 

Rich and sweeping and literally haunting."
--Andrew Pyper, Bestselling Author of
The Residence and The Demonologist

"Celestina's House is a glorious, fulfilling read. Gonzalez has written a beautiful and engaging page-turner, but one that will have you lingering on every word."
--Thom Ernst, Author of Wild Boy of Waubamik, Former Host/Producer Saturday Night at the Movies

“Clarissa Trinidad Gonzalez’s writing embodies a uniquely Filipino style of storytelling that seamlessly combines the real with the surreal. This is a rich, dark, and singular story of haunted love and incurable loss you won’t soon forget.”
--Cindy Fazzi, author of Multo and My MacArthur 

"With a lush, tropical setting, an entrancing protagonist, and swirling ghosts that guide and subvert, Clarissa Trinidad Gonzalez has crafted a darkly romantic, immersive world. This richly-imagined novel propels both Filipino and Canadian literature forward into exciting new territory."
--Jennilee Austria-Bonifacio, author of Reuniting with Strangers

"A ravishing and astonishing achievement for debut novelist Clarissa Trinidad Gonzalez."
