Not Flesh Nor Feathers
I was so sad to see the Eden Moore trilogy come to a close, but Not Flesh Nor Feathers was a wonderful way to end. The book had just the right amount of creepy and just the right amount of adventure.

If you like tales of things that go bump in the night, pick up ...

Contemporary Southern Gothic at its best!
Phenomenal follow-up to debut novel Four and Twenty Blackbirds.

Incredibly written, with a fast-paced storyline that still takes time to fully develop character. Priest cements her place in the Southern Gothic canon. Highly recommended.

favorite novel this year
Dreadful Skin was without a doubt my favorite novel this year. Cherie Priest is a fabulist storyteller with a gift for southern gothic. She paints a vivid picture of post Civil War west. Her characters are compelling. Most notably Eileen Callaghan, Irish nun turned Lycanthrope hunter truly came alive for me; she is witty, determine and surprisingly human throughout. Dreadful Skin manages to ...
