The Ten Thousand Doors of January

Set in the early 1900s, this novel follows January Scaller, a young woman living as the ward of wealthy Mr. Locke in a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures. January feels as out of place as the artifacts around her—carefully maintained but largely ignored. When she discovers a mysterious book that carries the scent of other worlds, her life changes. The book tells of secret doors, love, adventure, and danger. As January reads, she uncovers impossible truths about the world and realizes the story within its pages is increasingly connected to her own life. The novel explores themes of impossible journeys, love, and the power of stories. It was a Los Angeles Times bestseller and a finalist for the 2020 Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and World Fantasy Awards.
