Reviews

Praise for the author
"A true page-turner" Paul Tremblay "Henry's storytelling is her own sort of witchcraft."
Christopher Golden "Hair-raising, heart-stopping suspense from start to finish. A perfect nightmare of a novel."
Rachel Harrison "For years now Christina Henry has been showing us the cracks in the world, and the magic passing through. Now she leads us not to a large crack, but to four hairline tears. I followed her down each of them, and I got lost, and wished I'd never find my way back"
Francesco Dimitri "Henry's storytelling is her own sort of witchcraft"
Christopher Golden "It's full of magic and passion and courage, set against a convincing historical backdrop... Henry's spare, muscular prose is a delight. I loved this novel"
Louisa Morgan "Henry has mastered the art in Looking Glass, linking together four stories that expand and deepen the brutal and vibrant world she's created. Alice and Hatcher and Elizabeth's stories are the fairy tale of survival and transformation that every grown woman needs"
