(Caitlin R. Kiernan is) the most singular voice to enter the genre since Neil Gaiman popped up in graphic novels and Stephen King made movies live inside books...Beginning with the instant-classic Silk and continuing through her short fiction to this extraordinary new novel, Kiernan hasn t missed a step yet...If you haven t sampled her work yet, you haven t really been reading the future of horror and dark fantasy, only its past.
