The Devil in Silver

A fearless exploration of America's heart of darkness...A dizzying high-wire act.

Washington Post

Fantastical, hellish, and hilarious.

Los Angeles Times

It's simply too bighearted, too gentle, too kind, too culturally observant and too idiosyncratic to squash into the small cupboard of any one genre, or even two.

New York Times

Embeds a sophisticated critique of contemporary America's inhumane treatment of madness in a fast-paced story that is by turns horrifying, suspenseful, and comic.

Boston Globe

LaValle uses the thrills of horror to draw attention to timely matters. And he does so without sucking the joy out of the genre. . . . A striking and original American novelist.

The New Republic

Praise for Victor LaValle

:

LaValle hooks the reader deep into his increasingly eldritch thriller.

Guardian

Wonderfully creepy and impossible to put down.
