Reviews

"With this chilling work, Kiernan again proves her mastery of the genre."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

Praise for Caitln R. Kiernan

"Kiernan's writing -- starkly visual, tongue in cheek and disturbingly visceral -- carries the day." --The New York Times

"Kiernan's subtly haunting voice draws the reader in." --Publishers Weekly

"Caitln R Kiernan is one of those writers that you can't believe isn't a household name. Her writing is fantastic and her stories are dark, complex and wonderful." -- Book Riot

"Caitln Kiernan is one of the great stylists of horror fiction, and this novella is a triumph. It bristles with energy and ideas -- ideas that seem to spill off the page -- and everything is underpinned by a sense of cosmic bleakness that took my breath away. I fell in love with the characters. The story pulled me along by the nose. I honestly didn't want it to end." --Gary McMahon, author of the Concrete Grove trilogy
