<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"With <i>The Drowning Girl</i>, Caitlín R. Kiernan moves firmly into the new vanguard, still being formed, of our best and most artful authors of the gothic and fantastic--those capable of writing fiction of deep moral and artistic seriousness."--Peter Straub</b> <p/> India Morgan Phelps--Imp to her friends--is schizophrenic. She can no longer trust her own mind, convinced that her memories have somehow betrayed her, forcing her to question her very identity. <p/> Struggling with her perceptions of reality, Imp must uncover the truth about an encounter with a vicious siren, or a helpless wolf who came to her as a feral girl, or something that was neither of these things, but something far, far stranger...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Incisive, beautiful and as perfectly crafted as a puzzle-box, <i>The Drowning Girl</i> took my breath away."--Holly Black, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Red Glove</i> <p/> "This is a masterpiece. It deserves to be read in and out of genre for a long, long time."<br> --Elizabeth Bear, author of <i>Grail</i> <p/> "A beautifully written, startlingly original novel."--Elizabeth Hand, author of <i>Illyria <p/></i>"With <i>The Drowning Girl</i>, Caitlín R. Kiernan moves firmly into the new vanguard, still being formed, of our best and most artful authors of the gothic and fantastic--those capable of writing fiction of deep moral and artistic seriousness. This subtle dark in-folded novel, through which flickers a weird insistent genius, is like nothing I've ever read before. <i>The Drowning Girl</i> is a stunning work of literature, and if I may be so blunt, Caitlin R. Kiernan's masterpiece."--Peter Straub <p/> "In this novel, Caitlín R. Kiernan turns the ghost story inside out and transforms it. This is a story about how stories are told, about what they reveal and what they hide, but is no less intense or suspenseful because of that. It's a tale of real and unreal hauntings that quickly takes you down deep and only slowly brings you up for air."--Brian Evanson, author of <i>Last Days</i> <p/> "<i>The Drowning Girl</i> features all those elements of Caitlín R. Kiernan's writing that readers have come to expect--a prose style of wondrous luminosity, an atmosphere of languorous melancholy, and an inexplicable mixture of aching beauty and clutching terror. It is a ghost story, but also a book about the writing of ghost stories. It is about falling in love, falling out of love, and wondering whether madness is a gift or a curse. It is one of those very few novels that one wishes would never end."--S. T. Joshi, author of <i>I Am Providence: The Life and Times of H.P. Lovecraft</i> <p/> "Kiernan pins out the traditional memoir on her worktable and metamorphoses it into something wholly different and achingly familiar, more alien, more difficult, more beautiful, and more true."--Catherynne M. Valente, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Deathless<br></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Caitlin R.
