With dimpled cheeks and braids in bows, eight-year-old Rhoda Penmark is the new darling at the exclusive Fern Grammar in lazy small-town Alabama. Impeccably turned out, she is a model pupil in every way and, yet perhaps, also a serial-killer.

Review:
""The Bad Seed" is a novel of suspense and mounting horror, which the reader . . . will enjoy as the work of one of the most satisfying of American novelists."
--"Chicago Tribune"
"Dark, original, ultimately appalling . . . a straightforward, technically accomplished story of suspense. . . . This is a novel bound to arouse strong responses, to generate vehement discussion, and so not easily to be forgotten."
--"New York Herald Tribune"
"An impeccable tale of pure evil."
--"Atlantic Monthly"
"William March knows where human fears and secrets are buried. . . . Nowhere is this gift better displayed than in "The Bad Seed"--the portrayal of a coldly evil, murderous child and what she does to both victims and family. In the author's hands this is adequate material for an absolutely first class novel of moral bewilderments and responsibilities nearest the heart of our decade."
--"The New York Times
"""The Bad Seed" is terrifyingly good, not only because its theme is worked out so powerfully, but because every character is convincing. One has to believe that these appalling things took place exactly as the author says they did."
--"The Spectator" (UK)
"William March is still the unrecognized genius of our time."
--Alistair Cooke

About the Author:
William March (1893-1954), born William Edward March Campbell in Mobile, Alabama, was an American novelist and short-story writer. He served in the Marines during World War I, and was recognized with the Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross, and the Croix de Guerre. His first novel, Company K, was based largely on his wartime experiences. A prolific writer of short stories, he was a four-time winner of the O. Henry Prize. The Bad Seed was an immediate critical and commercial success, the source for a Tony Award-winning Broadway play and a finalist for the National Book Award. Sadly, March died of a heart attack just weeks after publication.
