Lone Women

A counter to the typical homesteading narrative, this moody and masterful western fires on all cylinders. Readers are sure to be impressed. * Publishers Weekly *Highly recommended for historical fiction readers just as much as die-hard horror fans. * Vulture *Expect richness, surprise and beauty from this visionary new rendering of the historic American West. * Salon *Victor LaValle is an outstanding storyteller known for his gripping narratives and the elegant flair he brings to speculative fiction. In Lone Women…he mixes these elements with historical fiction and commentary on racial tensions in 1915 Montana to deliver his best novel yet. * Gabino Iglesias, author of The Devil Takes You Home *A corrective to the founding myth of America, a book filled with bloodshed and pain, but always holding out for the hope of a happy ending. * Esquire *The combination of LaValle’s agile prose, the velocity of the narrative and the pleasure of upended expectations makes this book almost impossible to put down…deftly weaves history, horror, suspense and the perspectives of those rarely recorded in the West. * New York Times *Infused with creeping dread and chilling horror…it’s an excellent novel that blurs genres and looks at early-20th-century America from a perspective that’s been ignored for far too long. * NPR *
