Reviews

""A sinister and compelling psychological chiller about the perils of assimilation in a community that doesn't want you. Difficult to read at times, but that's simply because Vincent Tirado's writing is so raw, so corrosive, so undeniably brilliant. We Came to Welcome You is nasty, playful, and deeply unsettling."" -- Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke ""A creeptastic, tongue-in-cheek combination of The Stepford Wives and Invasion of the Body Snatchers all wrapped up into a cookie-cutter-suburb nightmare."" -- Booklist on We Came to Welcome You ""A deeply disconcerting and fully engrossing tale that explores the dangers of conformity and the effects of assimilation on the mind, body, and spirit. Vincent's work casts off the illusion of a white picket fence as protection and asks you to consider that the real monsters are the ones who lurk behind it."" -- Kalynn Bayron, New York Times bestselling author of Cinderella Is Dead and Sleep Like Death, on We Came to Welcome You
