“A phenomenal novel, a thriller with characters that are intriguing and real, a sublime plot, and all the right ingredients. This is a fabulous first book from an author who knows how to tell a story. I see an incredible future for her.” —Heather Graham, New York Times bestselling author of The Death Dealer

“Eerie and evocative, A Twisted Ladder provides scares and surprises galore.” —Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of The Surgeon

“Rhodi Hawk has reshaped Southern Gothic and made it her own. Alternately lyrical and disturbing, majestic and profoundly creepy, A Twisted Ladder sings with an unabashed love of the South even while lifting its rocks to reveal the decay and darkness lurking beneath.” —F. Paul Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of the Reapirman Jack series

“Rhodi Hawk's A Twisted Ladder is a novel of great power, a nasty Southern genre twister with a full dose of dark and light presented to us in fine controlled prose. It has all the great elements of Southern literature, but still manages to be be hip and hot underneath those Southern shadows. I haven't been thisimpressed with a new writer in quite some time.” —Joe R. Lansdale, Edgar Award-winning author of The Bottoms
