From the Inside Flap:
“Vivian Schilling’s Quietus is a great gothic raven perched somewhere between Anne Rice and Iris Murdoch. It’s a spooky, sweeping book of death, dreams and psychosexual intrigue. Schilling herself—in her deft melding of mythic animus and modern anxiety—seems like the bastard daughter of Carl Jung and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. I loved it.”—James Ireland Baker, Time Out New York "Powerful...an enlightening and thought-provoking look at what lies beyond our mortal lives." —Arizona Daily Sun “A deftly-written and highly recommended saga about unraveling the defenses of the human mind one by one...Haunting to the very end.” —Midwest Book Review “Well told and highly engaging...devilishly clever.”—Book Reporter “An intelligent and gothic masterpiece.” —West Coast Literary Review “A spooky, sweeping book of death, dreams and psychosexual intrigue. Schilling herself—in her deft melding of mythic animus and modern anxiety—seems like the bastard daughter of Carl Jung and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. I loved it.” —James Ireland Baker, Time Out New York “Rich and intelligent ... well written.” —The Women’s Connection
