Critics Review
Praise for A.G. Slatter:
Angela plays by her own rules. She’s fantastic Hilarie Burton-Morgan, actress and author of Grimoire Girl
A Forest, Darkly is a lush, blood-wet bramble of a fairytale promising we are each of us so much more than the worst thing we’ve ever done. Given the wicked elegance with which A.G. Slatter traverses the glens of folklore, one can’t help wonder if she might just be a changeling, herself.
-GennaRose Nethercott, author of Thistlefoot and Fifty Beasts To Break Your Heart
No one does gothic fairytales like A.G. Slatter. A Forest, Darkly is an atmospheric, slow-burn dream of a novel. Its protagonist, the resilient Mehrab, is a breath of fresh air, a glimmer of light in the dark forest.
-Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch’s Heart and The Weaver and the Witch Queen
A Forest, Darkly is a grimly enchanting tale, both inspired and ancient, spun of whispered things… This book is a tall mug of something hot and mulled beside a roaring fire. Be warned-you can drink your fill, but you’ll only crave more.
-Ava Morgyn, USA Today bestselling author of The Bane Witch
When I reviewed A.G. (Angela) Slatter’s 2022 novel The Path of Thorns, I said she was one of the best contemporary fantasists in the field. But I was wrong; my vision was too narrow. Angela is simply one of the best contemporary writers of fiction, regardless of genre… The Briar Book of the Dead is everything I love about Slatter’s fiction: the craft, the passion for narrative, and the foregrounding of strong, smart, singular women. More, please.
-Ian Mond, Locus
Slatter nestles stories within stories, immersing readers in a richly imagined world, and leading them on a journey full of unexpected twists and turns. This is an expertly woven tale of intrigue, magic, family, and righting old wrongs.
-A.C. Wise, author of Wendy, Darling
