Praise
★ ”Spun with allusions to mythology and literature, Romero’s novel in verse ensnares hearts and imaginations through vivid and memorable poetic craft that captures the ache and complexity of love. . . An alluring and lyrical journey.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
“A melodic marvel.”—Shelf Awareness
“In her polyamorous take on Orpheus and Eurydice, Romero writes in dreamy verses that draw on current events and pop culture. Like a good cover song, this will strike a chord in older teens with a fondness for the classics.”—Booklist
“Employing action-oriented and descriptive verse . . . Romero . . . pulls loosely from Dante’s Inferno as well as Latinx, Judaic, Greek, and Afro-Caribbean mythologies to craft this surreal queer polyamorous love story.”—Publishers Weekly
“Death’s Country is a jaw-dropping, heart-wrenching examination of queer love and identity. Romero fully reimagines the Underworld with poetic grandeur to craft a story that frequently left me breathless. A must-read adventure!” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Mark Oshiro
“R. M. Romero wields words both like a brush and a blade in Death’s Country, painting vivid images one moment and then making them bleed with searing symbolism the next. Powerfully emotive, Death’s Countryshows how we keep growing and learning and becoming ourselves—even in the underworld.“—Autumn Krause, critically acclaimed author of Before the Devil Knows You’re Here
“Told through R. M. Romero’s lush, visceral, and wholly original poetic voice, Death’s Country is a masterfully layered and kaleidoscopic reimagining of mythology and folklore. A dazzling and thought-provoking work of art!” —Rebecca Caprara, critically acclaimed author of Spin
