<b>Praise for Cherie Priest and the Borden Dispatches</b> A remarkable novel, simultaneously beautiful and grotesque. It is at once a dark historical fantasy with roots buried deep in real-life horror and a supernatural thriller mixing Victorian drama and Lovecraftian myth. You won t be able to put it down. Christopher Golden, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author <i>Maplecroft </i>is dark and lyrical, haunting and brined in blood. It is as sharp as Lizzie Borden s axe and Borden herself is a horror heroine bar none. Cherie Priest is our new queen of darkness. Chuck Wendig, author of <i>Zeroes</i> <i>Chapelwood</i> is devious, twisted and beautifully written. Cherie Priest is one of our very best authors of the fantastic. Brava! Jonathan Maberry, <i> New York Times</i> Bestselling Author of <i>Ghostwalkers</i> A wild, awesome page-turner....Priest has taken the real-life historical details of the Borden murders...and turned them into one of the best Lovecraftian stories I ve ever read. io9
