"""For fans of Neil Gaiman, Gregory Maguire, and the like, this is essential."" --Library Journal, starred review ""Romantic and blood-streaked, and infused with magic so real you can feel it on your fingertips--Deathless is beautiful."" --Cory Doctorow, bestselling author of Little Brother ""Stories, unlike people, don't stay dead forever, or not always.

They must be revived by the miraculous touch of a very rare class of being, a kind of multi-classed genius/scholar/saint, who can restore them to life. Catherynne Valente is such a being."" --Lev Grossman, bestselling author of The Magicians, on Ventriloquism"
