"The thing I love most about Cindy O'Quinn's work is the deeper-than-bone compassion for her people and place. Her horror is unflinching but never cruel, thoroughly grounded in its history and lore, letting the hills and the hollers speak through her to tell us what they know. This is horror with heart, rendering its nightmares with integrity, while still more than tough enough to kick your ass. That's why I love it. And I think you will too."

I'm looking forward to reading more of her work."-Annabella Gentile, screenwriter"Cindy O'Quinn's characters are so well developed they come to life on each page.

A shining testament to Cindy O'Quinn's mastery of story craft."-Candace Nola, author of Shadow Manor
