Howard’s visual imagination is superior. The story’s creepiness is intriguing as horror, and its hypnotic tone and setting, at the intersection of madness and creativity, should sweep readers down the rabbit hole.” —Publishers Weekly “Creepy, descriptive read with a generous dollop of romance.” —School Library JournalZum Buch
