Sentence by sentence, Catriona Ward made herself one of my very favorite writers - Kelly Link, 2016 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, author of GET IN TROUBLE Elegiac in its prose and haunting in its imagery, Rawblood is a precisely and beautifully woven tapestry through which threads of darkness wind their inevitable way.

I was hooked on the very first page and never let me go. Ward has crafted a sweeping saga of madness in all its forms that will chill you to the bones and draw you into its murky depths - Charlie Lovett, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE BOOKMAN'S TALE and FIRST IMPRESSIONS A story to satisfy the most gothic of hearts. Benedict, author of THE BEAUTY OF MURDER Elegiac in its prose and haunting in its imagery, is a precisely and beautifully woven tapestry through which threads of darkness wind their inevitable way. It is rare to find such sumptuous prose - A.K. James, author of THE HAUNTING OF MADDY CLARE Beautifully written Gothic. The book leaves the reader breathless in its gothic tale of fear, family, blood, and love - Simone St. As each layer of mystery is peeled away, more haunting truth is revealed. Mike Mignola, creator of HELLBOY RAWBLOOD weaves a spell that both terrifies and mesmerizes. I have never read anything like it and that's saying something. While it delivers everything I want from a 'haunted house/family curse' story it is still stunningly original. From the modern horrors of man - medical experiments, war - to the ancient power of the natural world,The Girl from Rawblood is not only a ghost story of the highest order, but a sublime meditation on the things that hold us captive: fidelity, fear, memory, love - Leslie Parry, author of THE CHURCH OF MARVELS Brilliant - RAWBLOOD is the old-school gothic novel I have been waiting for.
