What They're Saying
Critics Review
”[A] dark fairytale about the struggle between good and evil in each person’s heart.”
–Booklist
“A devious twist, gloriously horrific monsters, and gentle explorations of grief bring this fable to an emotional close.”
–Publishers Weekly
“Fans of dark fantasy with horrifying monsters and action will enjoy the rising action of this novel and its unique world.”
–School Library Journal
“Delicate beauty and startling monstrosities.”
–The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“The Losting Fountain is sweet and terrible in the gloriously gutting tradition of Diana Wynne Jones and Richard Adams. A modern fable, this journey through a new, beautifully recognizable landscape of the heart is a quick, compelling read. Highly recommended.”
–Seanan McGuire, award-winning author of the Wayward Children series
“Lora Senf’s brain is so weird in the best possible ways. If I have to get lost anywhere, I’m glad it’s in her imagination. With a cast of fully realized and heartbreaking characters and an intriguing new world beyond our own, The Losting Fountain is a darkly delightful addition to any library or bookshelf.”
–Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of And I Darken
“In The Losting Fountain, Lora Senf wields eerie unease like a violin, and from it, plays strange, sad music–you will be lured by the siren’s song of her story, and eager to be lost in its pages. Needless to say, I will read anything Lora writes.”
–Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of Dust & Grim
“Lora Senf is an expert guide through the shadowy borderlands between nightmare and fairy tale, channeling all their terror, weirdness, and heartbreak–but also their beauty and surprising tenderness. The Losting Fountain is a luminous, scary dreamscape, the kind you wake up from and immediately wish you could return to explore.”
–Amelinda Bérubé, author of Here There are Monsters
