Recensione:

“Caitlín Kiernan is the poet and bard of the wasted and the lost.”—Neil Gaiman
 
“Caitlín R. Kiernan is an original.”—Clive Barker
 
“Caitlín R. Kiernan draws her strength from the most honorable of sources, a passion for the act of writing.”—Peter Straub
 
“Caitlín R. Kiernan writes like a Gothic cathedral on fire.”—Poppy Z. Brite

“Breathtaking...This is possibly Kiernan’s best novel yet.”—Locus

“A pretty explosive and captivating read. Highly recommended.”—Green Man Review
 
“An effective mix of atmosphere and action.”—Publishers Weekly
 
“Caitlín R. Kiernan pays homage to Lovecraft in the scary Daughter of Hounds. There is a sense of the foreboding gothic that creeps out the audience and the antagonists who set much of the pace seem freaky and deadly. . . . a suspense laden tale that keeps readers’ attention.”—Midwest Book Review
