Praise

Praise for A.G. Slatter:


“Angela plays by her own rules. She’s fantastic”
Hilarie Burton-Morgan, actress and author of Grimoire Girl


“A delightfully sinister fairy tale full of dark rituals, reluctant romance, and revenge served bitterly cold, The Path of Thorns is a modern classic.” 
Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For The Wolf


“Slatter writes witches like none other, and her newest is a darkling feast, jewelled and blood-stained, rich with secrets and seething with unbearable power.”
Cassandra Khaw, author of The Salt Grows Heavy


“Angela is simply one of the best contemporary writers of fiction, regardless of genre”
Ian Mond, Locus


“A.G. Slatter shows that her genius for the magical gothic tale is not waning… She writes complex characters, who are utterly believable in their relationships and attitudes; she creates vibrant worlds whose details show there’s so much more to them than appears on the page. And her prose is so beautiful and absorbing that 350 pages fly by, and you’re left wanting more.”
Alexandra Pierce, Locus


“Slatter nestles stories within stories, immersing readers in a richly imagined world, and leading them on a journey full of unexpected twists and turns.”
A.C. Wise, author of Wendy, Darling


“Dark, witchy, and downright delicious.”
Ally Wilkes, author of All the White Spaces


“Angela Slatter hits it out of the park again. With gorgeous prose and a heart-breaking story about family, magic, and the weight of the past, this is a darkly fantastic masterpiece that shouldn’t be missed.”
Gwendolyn Kiste, Lambda Literary and Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Reluctant Immortals and The Rust Maidens


“Lush prose, complex, compelling characters, and an examination of the tangled webs of both the past and family roots left me flipping pages long into the night. What Slatter has crafted with The Briar Book of the Dead is nothing short of an immersive, dark magic.”
Kristi DeMeester, author of Such a Pretty Smile


“Angela Slatter is at her very best in this masterful blend of folkloric storytelling, family conflict and dark horror.”
Juliet Marillier, author of the Sevenwaters and Blackthorn & Grim series
