Leede masterfully eases readers into a taut horror plot in her standout sophomore outing . . . plenty of page-turning suspense, and this proves hard to put down * Publishers Weekly * A riveting, sprawling, staggeringly brilliant novel about the horrors of shame and repression and sexual violence and moral panics. American Rapture is a riotous scream and an emotional ode to anyone who has ever hidden their true self under their mattress. Blood-soaked, heart-wrenching, grim and glorious. Leede is a singular talent -- Rachel Harrison, author of BLACK SHEEP American Rapture has its finger on the bloody, fevered pulse, fearlessly addressing notions of love, sex, faith, redemption, individuality. You won't read anything else like it. -- Keith Rosson, author of FEVER HOUSE A bold, fiercely sharp, and deeply unsettling reimagining of the zombie apocalypse genre, which Leede crafts with equal parts anger and unwavering empathy -- Chuck Tingle, author of CAMP DAMASCUS A blistering, feverish ride through a uniquely American apocalypse. Leede crafts a deeply compelling descent through an unraveling heartland -- Chuck Wendig, author of THE BOOK OF ACCIDENTS Cinematic, visceral, reflective, and palpable, American Rapture keeps you staying up late, hand on page ready to turn before you're done with the one you're on, and thinking about it for days on end when you finish. Bravo. -- Ted Van Alst, co-editor of NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT With a heart as innocent as that of its heroine, American Rapture is a brave book, a daring book, and most of all, a timely book. It's terrifying because it's true. Kudos to CJ Leede. -- Alma Katsu, author of THE FERVOR A masterful, apocalyptic fever dream. Leede has the singular ability to make your skin crawl while you're bawling your eyes out. Americana horror at its finest. -- Liz Kerin, author of NIGHT'S EDGE Forget the zombies you know! Leede's American Rapture is a brutally fresh take on the apocalypse genre. Leede blends heart and horror, taking readers on an utterly bonkers and horrific ride. Buckle up. -- Jimmy Juliano, author of DEAD ELEVEN

You won't read anything else like it' -- Keith Rosson, author of FEVER HOUSE 'This gruesomely lustful reality has all the hallmarks of great apocalyptic fiction. But beneath some fantastic set pieces and truly soul-scarring events, there is a furious satire of America's sexual politics' * Vulture *
