Praise for Catherynne M. Valente:

“Valente just knocks me flat with her use of language: rich, cool, opiated language, language for stories of strange love and hallucinated cities of the mind.” – Warren Ellis

"Comfort Me With Apples is a furious and tantalizingly crooked domestic mystery, as slim and sharp as a needle." – Melissa Albert, New York Time bestselling author of The Children

“The Past Is Red is magical realism meets the garbage patch. Every page is a new and surprising invention. It’s hilarious and sad and filled with an inexcusable amount of wisdom." – New York Times bestselling author Hank Green

“Lush and furious. . . Valente always delivers.” – Laurie Penny, screenwriter for The Haunting of Bly Manor

"One of the most extraordinary works of fantasy, for adults or children, published so far this century." – Timemagazine, on the Fairyland series

“Valente modernizes the old-fashioned “what’s up with my husband” question that many heroines in dusty castles pondered...brings to mind Ira Levin’s classic The Stepford Wives.” – Silvia Moreno-Garcia

"I just about melted into the story, and someone will have to comb through Valente's exquisite prose to fish out my skeleton because I was wholly lost in the tale. It was so clever, so nefarious, so, well, Valente. To me, she's Angela Carter with knives for teeth." – New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi

“A gorgeous, funny, melancholy, splendid romp through a post-apocalyptic wonderland in which hope and despair are indistinguishable, and the human spirit burns with the joy and rage of a thousand suns. The Candide of our #@$\*%?! age.” – Ken Liu

"No one can move from sweet whimsy to bone-deep dread with the deftness of Catherynne M. Valente. ComfortMe With Apples is a darkly elegant fairytale-horror story that will haunt you in the best ways. Move it to the top of your TBR." – Christopher Golden

“When I say that [Fairyland] reminds me simultaneously of E. Nesbit, James Thurber, and the late Eva Ibbotson, I don't mean to take anything away from its astonishing originality. It's a charmer from the first page, managing the remarkable parlay of being at once ridiculously funny and surprisingly suspenseful. Catherynne Valente is a find, at any age!” – Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn

"Valente's subversive storytelling is sheer magic.” – Tamora Pierce, author of The Tortall novels

“Stories, unlike people, don't stay dead forever, or not always. They can live again--but [only by] miraculous touch of a very rare class of being, a kind of multi-classed genius/scholar/saint, who can restore them to life. Catherynne Valente is such a being.” – Lev Grossman

Praise for Radiance:

“A gleaming, screaming love letter to an imaginary age of interplanetary cinema, and its premiere female auteur, Radiance is an elegiac murder mystery set in a Mélièsian universe of wonders.” – Maria Dahvana Headley, New York Times bestselling author of Magonia

“A sleek rocket ship of a novel, swaddled in Art Deco decadence and glossy with an unsettling alt-history patina.” – The New York Times

“An intriguing examination of how we piece together our personal narratives.” – The Washington Post
