Reviews

Caitln Kiernan is the poet and bard of the wasted and the lost.Neil Gaiman

Caitln R. Kiernan is an original.Clive Barker

Caitln R. Kiernan draws her strength from the most honorable of sources, a passion for the act of writing.Peter Straub

Caitln R. Kiernan writes like a Gothic cathedral on fire.Poppy Z. Brite

BreathtakingThis is possibly Kiernans best novel yet.Locus

A pretty explosive and captivating read. Highly recommended.Green Man Review

An effective mix of atmosphere and action.Publishers Weekly

Caitln R. Kiernan pays homage to Lovecraft in the scary Daughter of Hounds. There is a sense of the foreboding gothic that creeps out the audience and the antagonists who set much of the pace seem freaky and deadly. . . . a suspense laden tale that keeps readers attention.Midwest Book Review
