Hackwith and the Novels from Hells Library series</b> <p/>Hackwith literally brings books to life with her layered prose, emotional scenes, slow burns, and powerful connections among found family members.--<i>Library Journal</i> (starred review) <p/>"This book pulls apart what a book is, what a book could be, and gets to the soul of what it means to tell a story, all while delivering queer chemistry and intricate worldbuilding."--<i>Booklist</i> (starred review) <p/>Powerhouse fantasy...Writing in stirring prose, Hackwith imbues her high-concept, metafictional tale with color, action, and high-flying emotion.--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review) <p/>It's like <i>The Good Place</i> meets <i>Law & Order: Bibliophile Crime Unit</i>. Highly recommended. This book is so much fun, and you should be reading it. Trust me. Stories about story are some of my favorite kinds. This book definitely makes the list. I am so glad I read this.--Seanan McGuire, author of <i>In an Absent Dream</i> <p/>"Clever, charming, full of intricate worldbuilding and delightful characters, <i>The Library of the Unwritten</i> is the first book in your new favorite series."--Christina Henry, author of <i>The Girl in Red</i> <p/>A delightful romp through heaven, hell, and everything in between which reveals itself in layers.--Caitlin Starling, author of <i>The Luminous Dead</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>A. J. Hackwith</b> is (almost) certainly not an ink witch in a hoodie. She's a queer writer of fantasy and science fiction living in Seattle, and writes sci-fi romance as Ada Harper. She is a graduate of the Viable Paradise writer's workshop and her work appears in <i>Uncanny </i>magazine and assorted anthologies. Summon A.J. at your own peril with an arcane circle of fountain pens and classic RPGs, or you can find her on Twitter and other dark corners of the Internet.
