"An unusual love story and a creepy horror novel -- think of the Bront� sisters and Stephen King...The architecture of the storytelling is faultless." -- John Irving"Original and compelling." -- Anchorage Daily News"A unique take on rural noir." -- Publishers Weekly"[Jamey] Bradbury has written a lovely and intense novel about the precarious balance of life and death, what it means to be human and fragile in a hostile environment, and, perhaps, what it means to be something other than entirely human." -- Library Journal (starred review)"[Jamey] Bradbury cultivates vivid atmosphere with visceral action and a dynamic cast of characters...readers who like earthy, genre-blending, coming-of-age stories should be pleased." -- Booklist"A taut, atmospheric thriller...Jamey Bradbury has crafted a stunning debut full of secrets and hunger, grief and longing. Like the cold of an Alaskan winter, this book chilled me and wrapped me in quiet dread." -- Jennifer McMahon"A uniquely American coming-of-age tale set on the Alaskan frontier where the borderlines between civilization and savagery...become blurred...A remarkable fable of growing up in the new world." -- Joshua Gaylord, author of When We Were Animals
