Is anyone a reader of her work? I read her novel Silk and had mixed reactions about it. I really enjoyed the style of the book, which was very lush and descriptive. The references to certain horror films and alternative/goth acts were cool too. I was reminded of Poppy Z. Brite's early work and in terms of setting up the world where her characters dwell, Kiernan is just as good as Brite. Whereas Brite was (and still is) able to create memorable characters, I really didn't feel anything for the characters in Silk. I didn't despise them but I certainly didn't grow to love them. Certain elements of the plot left me confused and not at all sure as to what the point was.
After looking up this book on Amazon, I found out she wrote a sequel called Murder of Angels. Maybe this will clear up some of the questions I had when reading Silk.
