About this title

Review:

"Humdrum reality spins along under our wheels: life, love, work--until a kink in the road takes us deep into the land of Joseph Fink, who builds tarmac that isn't quite of this world."--Laurie R. King, New York Times bestselling author of Island of the Mad

"Alice Isn't Dead is that rare example of supernatural fiction with both bite and heart. "--San Francisco Chronicle

"Ultimately an endorsement of everyday heroism and community, Alice Isn't Dead resonates as a love story, a road trip novel and a campfire tale that taps into our most primal fears."--Shelf Awareness

"Bracingly candid and unabashedly epic, Alice Isn't Dead is indeed a wild road trip that backs up Keisha's hard-won philosophy that "the only way out is through."--BookPage

"Alice Isn't Dead remains an intriguing complement, imbued with newfound soul -- and romance. Alice has always known suspense, but as a novel it finds true love."--Entertainment Weekly
