PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR
“… a fascinating meditation on the nature of horror.” (Molly Tanzer, author of A Pretty Mouth and And Side by Side They Wander,on Knock Knock)
“… the story achieves a momentum all its own, rushing headlong to a shattering finale, and the prose, which Miskowski uses with such care and accuracy throughout, in the final pages attains a fever dream intensity.” (Peter Tennant for Black Static, reviewing Knock Knock)
“… not only expands and illuminates the tragedy in the brilliant novel, Knock Knock, but also further proves Miskowski possesses that talent most enviable in a writer: she makes you BELIEVE.” (Simon Strantzas, author of Nightingale Songs, on Delphine Dodd)
“… rich in realistic detail, it also uses storytelling and dreams to produce a sense of a world of strange and alarming mysteries lying just beyond our own and always ready to break through.” (David Longhorn, editor of Supernatural Tales, reviewing Delphine Dodd)
“… part Hitchcock, part David Lynch, and all Miskowski's distinctive, thoughtfully crafted, slow-burn literary terror.” (Molly Tanzer, author of Vermilion, on Astoria)
“… a white-knuckle terror trip across the landscape of the Pacific Northwest […] Miskowski is unafraid to plumb the darkest impulses of the female psyche […] We can bolt the door and turn on the light, but in the end, Miskowski warns us, no matter what we do, our demons are coming for us.” (Lynda E. Rucker, author of The Moon Will Look Strange, on Astoria)
“... a cleverly constructed tale […] a fitting final chapter to a work of great power and authority.” (Peter Tennant for Black Static, reviewing In the Light)
“... a flair for imbuing mundane things with a strange sense of menace […] a beansprout grown in a cup and a moth fluttering around a child's bedroom take on subtle qualities of malevolence.” (Rob Russin for Geeks Out, reviewing In the Light)
“A wonderful and fitting end to the Skillute Cycle, though it's a shame to say goodbye. Full of beauty and life and dark magic, the Skillute books are a joy to read.” (Alison Littlewood, author of The Unquiet House, on In the Light)
