Praise for Red Delicious

Praise for Red Delicious:

"Gritty urban fantasy meets old-fashioned noir in this high octane sequel to Blood Oranges."--Publishers Weekly

"[A] rollicking good time...witty and snide and wonderfully awful."--Tor.com

"It feels great to be back in the world of Siobhan Quinn...The fast-paced, volatile and unpredictable nature of the story means there is never a dull moment."--The Bibliosanctum

Praise for Blood Oranges:

"The New England setting is colorful and convincing, and Tierney populates it with a weird and splendid set of supernatural beings...[R]eaders are in for a memorably exhilarating and engaging experience."--Kirkus

"The first urban fantasy title (and first publication under the Tierney name) for Caitlin R. Kiernan (The Drowning Girl) brings an engagingly fresh perspective to well-trod territory...Colorful side characters and a fully realized setting make this a fast-paced series opener well worth checking out."--Publisher's Weekly

"Kiernan...has made it her business to turn the comfortable genres of imaginative fiction inside out. Now writing as Kathleen Tierney she introduces a heroin as fascinating and compelling as she is foul-mouthed and impatient."--Library Journal

"[A] fast-paced, profane, and combustive little thriller."--The Black Letters

Praise for Caitlín R. Kiernan:

"One of our essential writers of dark fiction."--New York Times

"Deeply, wonderfully, magnificently nasty."--Neil Gaiman

"Caitlín R. Kiernan draws her strength from that most honorable of sources, a passion for the act of writing."--Peter Straub

"Caitlín Kiernan is a master of dark fantasy."--Holly Black
