The Story of Ferdinand

One of CrimeReads&rsquo; Most Anticipated Crime Fiction 2022"Katsu has no peer when it comes to atmospheric, detail-rich historical horror, but this volume is more unsettling than anything she&rsquo;s written yet, because its demons attack readers uncomfortably close to home. A must-read for all, not just genre fans." &ndash;Library Journal (starred review)"The action leaps off the page and has a cinematic quality. The Fervor is a stunning triumph and unfurls like a masterfully woven tapestry. It is suffused with secrets, pain, Japanese myths long thought forgotten, and above all the guilt that permeates throughout. . . . The ghosts of this story will haunt readers long after they&rsquo;re finished reading.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist (starred review)&ldquo;The plot moves at a dizzying pace . . . a balance of incisive detail and steady progression . . . What appears to be a story of supernatural suspense mixed with historical fiction transforms into an important reminder of the United States&rsquo; short memory of its own atrocities and its long history of anti-Asian sentiment, violence, and racism. . . . It's enjoyable to experience the ambitious, weblike weaving of the book's many elements.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews"No one does historical gothic horror better than Katsu, and I can&rsquo;t wait to immerse myself in this very creepy tale." &ndash;CrimeReads&ldquo;Katsu weaves myriad perspectives into a powerful historical horror novel centered on the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. . . . The meticulous and compassionate portraiture, placed against the backdrop of what evils humans do to one another, creates a horror that renders even the creepiest spiders merely decorative in comparison. Horror readers looking for sharp social commentary should snap this up.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly"The Fervor is set in 1944, but it&rsquo;s about the world we live in now&mdash;and that&rsquo;s terrifying."&mdash;Stephen Graham Jones, author of My Heart Is a Chainsaw&ldquo;The Fervor is heartbreaking, beautiful, and unputdownable. It turns the mirror of the past on the present, showing us what we could become if fear is allowed to defeat sense. It's a masterful accomplishment which will stay with me for a long time."&mdash;Catriona Ward, author of The Last House on Needless Street"Is there anything the brilliant Alma Katsu can't write about? The Fervor is an utterly compelling combination of the historical novel, the medical thriller, and the supernatural scarefest. It's also a hauntingly moving meditation on prejudice and suspicion that feels like it has as much to say about our present moment as it does about the past. This is sure to be considered one of the best, most original novels of the year."&mdash;David Bell, author of Kill All Your Darlings"Masterfully written. Rich in historical detail and packed with complicated, compelling characters, The Fervor is a frightening&#160;reminder that those of us in the present are always on the cusp of repeating the sins of the past." &mdash;Riley Sager, author of Lock Every Door "A haunting, harrowing slice of historical horror conjured by a masterful storyteller."&#160;&mdash;Chuck Wendig, author of Wanderers"I&rsquo;m in awe of Alma Katsu&rsquo;s uncanny ability to take historical fiction and infuse it with something so dark and otherworldly. I read this book in two sittings and during the night in between, I dreamt about it. A supernatural story with true heartache." &mdash;Jamie Ford, author of The Many Daughters of Afong Moy and Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet"A chilling, inventive supernatural thriller about a mysterious outbreak in a Japanese American internment camp during the frenzied nationalist days of World War II. The story is propulsive and dense with spidery scares, but the greatest horror comes from the deep resonance between this shameful episode of our history and the news we read every day.&rdquo; &mdash;Steph Cha, author of Your House Will Pay

Named one of the most anticipated reads of 2022 by PopSugar, Bookpage, and Crimereads&ldquo;Mesmerizing. . . &#160;Rothchild does a terrific job keeping readers wondering about Simon&rsquo;s reliability, and pulls off the considerable challenge of engendering sympathy for an unrepentant killer. Vivid prose is another plus. . . Jeff Lindsay fans will have a hard time not devouring this standout effort in one sitting.&rdquo;--Publishers Weekly (starred review)&ldquo;This disturbing thriller begs to be inhaled in a single sitting, but the experience may raise the question of how many friends and loved ones are quietly, happily getting away with murder.

Ruby is a one-of-a-kind protagonist&mdash;book smart and street smart, delightfully self-righteous with a healthy balance of Oops! and I Got This. She makes rules to live by, and breaks rules when other people fail her standards for acceptable human behavior.

Truly, Blood Sugar is one of the most entertaining novels I've ever read.

Never before have I cared so much for such an untrustworthy character.&rdquo;&mdash;Kathleen Barber, author of Truth Be Told"Inventive, engrossing, and wicked, BLOOD SUGAR is the tale of a woman who just can&rsquo;t seem to stop killing people. But she would never hurt her own husband&mdash;right? Ruby Simon is perhaps the most relatable murderer since Dexter. I found her story disturbingly fun."&mdash;Stephanie Wrobel, bestselling author of Darling Rose Gold
