Critics Review
Morley crafts a menacingly sinister tale of imprisonment and eerily inventive story of survival that will appeal to fans of riveting psychological suspense and cut-throat dystopian fiction. - Booklist
Morley scores with an audacious page-turner. In a series of gripping twists, Morley elevates the complexities of Blythe and Adam’s situation, deepening the themes of survival and dependence… a stellar and surprising ride. - Publishers WeeklyQuite moving…intriguing and provocative. - Kirkus reviewsReeled out with the chilling calmness of a Hitchcock film, Above haunts as it illuminates. Deftly told, this tale of human resilience in the face of madness is a horror classic for our times. - Lynn Cullen, bestselling author of Mrs. PoeThe isolation and darkness wrap you like wild vines and force you to face the nightmare, but Above plunges you forward and drives toward hope, because sometimes that’s all that remains. This is a novel that challenges you to believe. - Michael Farris Smith, author of RiversMorley is a stunning storyteller. - The Daily BeastAbout The Author
