About this title

Review

This sublime new novel detonates the very notion of genre. And it works because it is riveting, insightful, sentence by sentence charged with feeling, as it bears us helpless with it on its downward journey to illumination -- Peter Straub, winner of Bram Stoker Award Beautifully written and tautly paced... a tale whose subtle and mysterious confluences are as elusive as water underground -- Thomas H. Cook, winner of the Edgar Allen Poe Award Superb. The only thing I did for two straight days was read this book-it really is that riveting... somehow alchemically able to combine suspense, wonder, and romance all in one seamless story that kept you guessing -- Jonathan Carroll, winner of World Fantasy Award Chilling and impossible to put down. Morrow is at the top of his form: bold, original, and mesmerizing. Truly a stunning achievement -- Valerie Martin, winner of the Orange Prize Bradford Morrow is a force of nature... The Diviner's Tale will not only delight, it will endure -- Robert Olen Butler, winner of Pulitzer Prize in Fiction A chilling, genre-busting tale... just when you think it can't get any darker, Morrow reveals his trump card. Startling. * Daily Mirror *
