Fantasy

They're known as the Children of the Cuckoo. Stolen from their cribs and raised by ghouls, the changelings serve the creatures who rule the world Below and despise the world Above. Any human contact is strictly forbidden and punishment is swift and severe for those who disobey.

Eight years ago, Emmie Silvey was born on Halloween while a full moon rose in the sky. Raised in Providence by her widower father, she's a strange, yellow-eyed girl, plagued with visions of impossible worlds and fabulous beings. Now her path is about to intersect with one of the changelings, a violent young woman named Soldier who's quickly slipping from the favor of her ghoul masters. Inextricably linked, together they must face the monsters and unearthly forces that have shaped their lives... and threaten their futures.

Reviews for Daughter of Hounds

Caitlin Kiernan is the poet and bard of the wasted and the lost. -Neil Gaiman Caitlin R. Kiernan is an original. -Clive Barker Caitlin R. Kiernan draws her strength from the most honorable of sources, a passion for the act of writing. -Peter Straub Caitlin R. Kiernan writes like a Gothic cathedral on fire. -Poppy Z. Brite Breathtaking...This is possibly Kiernan's best novel yet. -Locus A pretty explosive and captivating read. Highly recommended. -Green Man Review An effective mix of atmosphere and action. -Publishers Weekly Caitlin R. Kiernan pays homage to Lovecraft in the scary Daughter of Hounds. There is a sense of the foreboding gothic that creeps out the audience and the antagonists who set much of the pace seem freaky and deadly. . . . a suspense laden tale that keeps readers' attention. -Midwest Book Review
