A multi-generational gothic wonder.-Reactor MagazineA fantastic horror novel and easily one up there with Due's The Reformatory.-Voice MagazineThe story flows in a mesmerising way, the author succeeds in telling a tale of literal terror, a creature stalking the innocent and the cruelty of an enterprise where you are only as good as your last.-Bloody FlicksTananarive Due knows that the most frightening monsters are rarely the only horrors in the room. Mazywood is smart, scary and deeply affecting, another reminder that few writers can make a monster story carry this much history, or this much heart. Seattle TimesThis is Due at the height of her powers as an architect of dread. ... Where Mazywood really earns its place is at the crossroads of half a dozen horror traditions at once. It is a creature feature. It is a haunted-house novel. It is a survival thriller. It is a hundred-year family saga about the price of assimilation and the fury that gets swallowed to pay it.-Ginger Nuts of HorrorTananarive Due builds horror novels like cathedrals, digging deep into the many branches of her narratives to find their dark heart, which means Mazywood has all the makings of a book we can get happily lost in.-Bloody DisgustingThis enthralling hybrid of showbiz history, supernatural mystery, and nail-biting adventure in the wild spins a chilling, enlightening, and ultimately heartrending saga.... Perilously close to a career triumph for its author.-Kirkus, starred reviewA creature feature with brains and bite that will chill readers to the bone... A standing ovation.-Booklist, starred reviewA genuinely haunting novel which shows that the terrors of the past are not so far away.-Library Journal, starred reviewThis heart-pounding horror story further cements Due as one of the greats.-Publishers Weekly, starred reviewPRAISE FOR THE REFORMATORYWorld Fantasy Award Winner, 2024 Los Angeles Times Book Prize Winner, 2024You're in for a treat. The Reformatory is one of those books you can't put down. Tananarive Due hit it out of the park.-Stephen KingThe Reformatory is a masterpiece-a new American classic of the uncanny. I was gripped from the first lines to the catch-your-breath desperation of the final pages. Even in the tale's grimmest moments, Tananarive Due insists on the almost supernatural power of simple kindness. You have to read this book.-Joe Hill, New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman and Heart-Shaped BoxSo heart-smashingly good, it made me late for work. I couldn't stop reading. I needed to find out what was going to happen next, and next, and next.-Randy Boyagoda, The New York TimesThe writing here is spectacular; the pacing, engrossing; the setting, heartbreaking but honest; and the characters are given a nuance and depth rarely seen . . . A masterpiece of fiction.-Library Journal, starred reviewHaunting, atmospheric, and tightly plotted, this novel will linger in your mind long after you turn the last page.-- Crimereads.com, The Best Crime Novels of 2023A masterpiece of fiction, this novel speaks to all situations where injustice occurs, and compels its readers to act.-Library Journal, Best Horror of 2023With fully realized characters and well-placed twists, Due ratchets up the tension until the final, extraordinary showdown.-Booklist, starred reviewA vividly realized page-turner, which is at once an ingenious ghost story, a white-knuckle adventure, and an illuminating if infuriating look back at a shameful period in American jurisprudence.-Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewDeeply personal and empathetic, it's one of the most tragic and moving horror novels put to page, and will leave you emotionally devastated, in addition to simply scared.-Comics Beat on The Reformatory
