Critics Review

Only T. Kingfisher can write horror this lovely, even sweet, while simultaneously nauseating, grizzly, and revolting. Wolf Worm will live in my brain forever, parasitically, just as it should – Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas SixA creepy southern gothic that delivers real chills along with a surprising ration of human warmth. T. Kingfisher is one of the most consistently excellent writers working today – her prose is always delicious, whether rendering creekside wildflowers or stomach-churning body horror – Christopher Buehlman, USA Today bestselling author of The Blacktongue Thief & Between Two FiresEvery time Kingfisher takes a foray into horror, I discover new reasons to become incredibly suspicious of completely mundane things. Wolf Worm is going to burrow straight into your brain – Cassandra Khaw, USA Today bestselling author of The Library at HelleboreWolf Worm offers the perfect balance between curiosity and dread, driving you ineluctably forward through the story, but always with a twisting, well, worm in your gut. (But also, let’s be honest, she had me at CREEPY BUG BOOK) – Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of WanderersGothic, creepy, but also full of Kingfisher’s trademark wit, Wolf Worm will burrow deep into your brain and not come out. Another wonderful addition to the horror genre – Johanna van Veen, USA Today bestselling author of Blood on her TongueThis kept me up way too late, I literally had to tear myself away. Wolf Worm is hearty, atmospheric, gruesome and funny – and reminded me all over again why T. Kingfisher is one of my all time favourite writers – Hildur Knútsdóttir, author of The Night GuestKingfisher is a master of blending genuine dread with a touch of dark humour – The Hounslow Herald
