REVIEWS:
“… a singular American fabulist.” — William Gibson
“This story of good and evil siblings examines how we all learn to live with who we are, and does so through supple writing and a tense and carefully executed plot… Blaylock combines the supernatural with a deep understanding of contemporary California and human nature, producing a book with appeal for both fantasy fans and readers of realistic fiction.” — Publishers Weekly
“Vivid descriptions and deft characterisations… Winter Tides exposes the underbelly of human nature” — Library Journal
“One creepy, creepy book… Blaylock will scare you to death with a minimum of splatter and maximum of tension, Hitchcock-style. I read Winter Tides in one long sitting and found my heart wouldn't stop racing.” — Woodland Hills Daily News (California)
