Praise for Eldritch Black:
“Eldritch Black is a superior story teller! Every character is brought fully to life with very few words, and what a delightfully creepy cast of characters he’s written”
“Wonderful world building paired with a perfect tone of dark and spooky.”
“(Reviewing on behalf of my 11 yr who read this book)I absolutely loved it! Just the right amount of scary. It kept me on the edge of my seat!”

Review

“This book has a depth to it that took me pleasantly by surprise. The conflict doesn’t come down to a simple good vs. evil showdown – it was nuanced and compelling and kept me guessing right up to the end. And our main character, Gabrielle, is the kind of kid I’d want to be friends with: brave and witty and flawed and completely lovable.

And the writing. Hats off to Mr. Black because his prose is stunningly, luxuriously written. This is the kind of book that makes me want to gather up some children and plunk them firmly down for an impromptu read-aloud because it’s just that good.”
