Vivien, After

Praise for Grant Jerkins:

"Dark. Chilling. Startling. No one is as they appear to be, and the twists and turns never let up." --Library Journal (Starred Review)

"You have to admire the purity of Jerkins's writing: He's determined to peer into the darkness and tell us exactly what he sees." --The Washington Post

"Dares us to solve a mystery in which none of the normal character cues can be taken at face value." --The New York Times Book Review

"Grisly suspense. Unimaginable horror." --Kirkus Reviews

"Jerkins juggles his plot twists like a top circus acrobat." --Publishers Weekly (A Very Simple Crime)

"Darkly comic, consistently surprising, and agreeably macabre". --Publisher's Weekly (The Ninth Step)

"Gritty, sordid, disturbing, and addictive". --Richmond Times-Dispatch

"So stylishly twisted that I read it in one sitting." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (Top 10 List)

"An absolutely fearless writer." --Elizabeth A. White
