About this title

Review:

"The Between weaves the real and the surreal into a compelling tapestry of suspense and horror. A masterful debut."--Connie Briscoe, author of Sisters & Lovers

"Until now, African-American fiction has lacked a major horror writer. Tananarive Due fills that gap. Her intriguing plot holds readers in suspense until she neatly and profoundly ties together all the threads in the final three pages."--Palm Beach Post

"Due's finely written, offbeat story is a provocative exploration into the fragile distinctions of reality."--Oceanside Blade-Citizen

"The Between is a powerful debut."--Southern Book Trade
