Critics Review
“Beautifully written and spectacularly spooky, Ravenous Things is an instant new favorite!”–Claribel Ortega, New York Times best-selling author of Witchlings
“Chow draws on the more sinister aspects of the Pied Piper source material to make a true villain in the Conductor, and an increasingly speedy pace maximizes tension. The book moves beyond thrills and chills, however, as it explores loss, focusing on how grief can be both painfully specific and universally shared, for better or for worse.”–BCCB
“Equal parts chilling and poignant, Ravenous Things is a true gem of a debut horror novel. Creepy scenes galore blended with beautiful prose makes this haunting exploration of grief and the “monsters” we endure a must-have!“–Lindsay Currie, author Scritch Scratch and The Girl in White
“You could not pry this creepy little book out of my hands it was so good!! I had to finish it in one sitting. Parts of this book actually had me shrieking out loud. Horrifying and beautiful, this is an absolute masterpiece!”–Ellen Oh, author of the Spirit Hunters series
