What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Will intrigue readers eager for a Southern Gothic tale, and suggests a promising future for the Black Mountain novels to come.”
“Steeped in lushly-drawn landscapes and teeming with mystery, The Storycatcher is a beautifully-rendered story of the journey for redemption and justice that drives the human heart, even beyond the flesh–and the knots of family we tie, and sometimes must untangle, along the way. I was utterly absorbed from the first, riveted and captivated, and no more able to leave the side of Ann Hite’s haunted characters than the ghosts that are leading them toward their impossible secret.”
