Silent City

""The definition of a single session read."" --Eoin Colfer, bestselling author of Artemis Fowl ""Zombie-adjacent chills in the story of an Ireland entirely devastated by undead-like things--a familiar but always satisfyingly disturbing scenario. . . The friendships are complex and the interactions mature--in the best sense of the term. The characters are neither flimsy adventure heroes nor simple villains. . . I can't wait to see where Ms. Davis-Goff will take her horrific world next."" --Wall Street Journal ""The novel's worldbuilding is crisply efficient. . . Fast-paced and suspenseful, and the banshees satisfyingly heroic. . . A headlong thriller."" --Kirkus ""Eloquent. . . Davis-Goff elevates a familiar plot with vivid prose and emotionally resonant characterization. Horror fans looking for more than jump-scares will find it here."" --Publishers Weekly ""A fierily compelling dystopian thriller crackling with resonances of the now. Sarah Davis-Goff proves herself a storyteller of remarkable gifts in this provocative gobsmacker of a novel."" --Joseph O'Connor, #1 international bestselling author of My Father's House and Star of the Sea ""Silent City is grim but hopeful, tackling questions of risk, trust, courage, morality, and sacrifice. Davis-Goff's prose is stark but lovely. A strong feminist voice, austere circumstances, and a resolute sense of integrity make this dystopia memorable and inspiring."" --Shelf Awareness ""Vibrant and unsettling, Davis-Goff's Silent City is a haunting read."" --Danielle McLaughlin, award-winning author of The Art of Falling ""A dark, visceral dystopia about a few young women who decide to take a risk and strike out for a better world. . . The cinematic gore and fight scenes mix with heart-sinking twists and a small hint of hope."" --Booklist ""Terrifying and edifying in equal measure. In showing us a chilling future, Davis-Goff offers us some provocative thoughts about the world we inhabit today. Davis-Goff has built a frightening dystopian world from the embers of fires we're stoking today. Brutal and beautiful, Orpen's story is a cry against complacency. Davis-Goff invites us to examine what has always been, and fight for who and what we might be."" --Tara Flynn, actor and author of Rage-In
