"Praise for White Horse by Erika T. Wurth ""Twisty and electric. . . . Wurth handles the suspense with an expert hand. The novel unfolds in short, tense chapters that glide between past and present, and often torque into hair-raising turns."" --New York Times Book Review (Editor's Choice) ""An edgy delight. . . .Combines potboiler beats with an off-kilter, dreamlike atmosphere. . . . White Horse distinguishes a gritty new punkish outsider voice in American horror."" --Esquire ""Excellent."" --Tommy Orange, on The Today Show ""Superb. . . .

What else can you ask for in a novel?"" --Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians ""Family ties are made from rusty barbed wire in White Horse, a book that feels as welcome as a dark bar on a hot afternoon, and whose story burns like a shot of rotgut whiskey."" --Grady Hendrix, bestselling author of The Final Girl Support Group ""This ghost story is a perfect example of new wave horror that will also satisfy fans of classic Stephen King."" --Silvia Moreno-Garcia, author of The Daughter of Doctor Moreau and Mexican Gothic ""An unapologetic world of dive bars, dark secrets, and true life horrors.
