of Voracious
Christopher Golden, author of The
Myth Hunters, the Shadow
Saga series, and Wildwood
Road, and winner of the Bram
Stoker award:
"With Voracious,
Alice Henderson has created a gripping, atavistic supernatural
thriller, a sexy, sensuous, and terrifying dark fantasy. It's
breathtaking and merciless, and I can't wait to see what she does for
an encore."
Simon Clark, author of The
Night of the Triffids, Vampyrrhic, Nailed By The Heart
and many other novels, winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best
Novel and Best Short Story:
"A terrific
debut. Alice Henderson has the talent to evoke nature as an
extraordinarily potent force that is nothing short of breath-taking."
"Alice
Henderson's vivid evocation of wilderness places is superb in this
page-turning story. A writer to watch."
William
D. Gagliani, author of Wolf's
Trap and Shadowplays:
"Voracious
is a polished and well-focused novel of raw animal terror. It pits a
gutsy, outdoors-loving protagonist against an alluring, shapeshifting
demon out of time who lusts not only for her flesh, but also for her
extraordinary talent. Alice Henderson deftly crafts her own convincing
mythology while telling a compelling, page-turning adventure that makes
Glacier National Park itself into a character. Offering crisp action
and tingly eroticism, Voracious
also boasts an environmental subtext blended with astute philosophical
explorations of the predator-prey symbiosis. Henderson's first novel is
both accomplished and a shining promise of more to come. A winner!"
Richard Dansky, author of the Vampire clan novel Lasombra,
over forty-five White Wolf role playing game books, and the central Tom
Clancy writer at Redstorm, a division of Ubi-Soft:
"You will tear
through this book the way Alice Henderson's monstrous creature tears
through its prey. A combination of awe-inspiring setting and deeply
personal terror, Voracious
is irresistible."
J. A. Konrath, author of the Jack Daniels Mystery series, including Whiskey
Sour, Bloody
Mary and Rusty
Nail:
"Voracious
heralds the arrival of a major new talent in the dark fiction field.
Henderson brings tremendous tension, suspense, and atmosphere with this
modern twist on the shape-shifter tale. This is one cool book."
