Review Quotes: "Vervain Hollow is a delightfully twisting slice of Gothic Americana anchored by exquisitely drawn characters and relationships. Silvey deftly draws us into the toxic joy of cult-living and as we delve deeper into what happened before, and what must come next, the narrative tension is never less than fraught." -- Ian Green, Arthur C. Clarke-shortlisted author of ExtremophileReview Quotes: "A dark and mind-bending tale with an atmosphere of mounting claustrophobia, Vervain Hollow is a brilliantly-paced gothic cult horror which poses the question: is it better to accept reality, however cold, or sink into the pleasure of beautiful lies, and can we always trust ourselves to tell the difference?"-- Marianne Gordon, author of The Raven's Trade duology Biographical Note: Catriona Silvey is the author of the international bestseller Meet Me in Another Life. She was born in Glasgow and grew up in Scotland and England. After collecting an unreasonable number of degrees from the universities of Cambridge, Chicago, and Edinburgh, she settled in Edinburgh where she lives with her husband and children. Review Quotes: "Profoundly unsettling, like a nightmare from which you can't seem to wake. Silvey explores the depths of desire, loneliness, and obsessive control--all told through the framework of a supernatural monster, and the young humans he draws into his web."-- Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters Review Quotes: PRAISE FOR VERVAIN HOLLOW: "An otherworldly portrayal of fanaticism and evangelism with an expansive moral lesson about the dangers that lie in sacrificing one's identity to fit in...Silvey's exploration of what drives people into cults is sensitive yet poignant and speaks to the modern moment. This thoughtful and haunting novel is an excellent addition to the growing number of regional gothics."-- Library Journal, Starred Review Review Quotes: "Sinister and all-consuming, Vervain Hollow draws you into a world of lies, doubt, desire and despair, and swallows you whole. A cult horror classic in the making." -- Kat Dunn, author of the national bestseller Hungerstone Review Quotes: PRAISE FOR CATRIONA SILVEY: "Inventive, bold and surprising . . . Cleverly constructed and highly entertaining."-- Charles Yu, National Book Award winner of Interior Chinatown, on Meet Me in Another Life Review Quotes: "Catriona Silvey is an absolute must-buy author for me." -- Mike Chen, New York Times bestselling author of A Quantum Love StoryReview Citations:
