"""Think The Princess Diaries meets Dante's Inferno. That's Black Sheep. Only Rachel Harrison could write something with such fiery playfulness and such stunning acerbic wit. Undoubtedly the most enjoyable and compelling horror novel you'll read this year."" -Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke “Harrison finds new ways to press on the bruise of growing up as an outsider, delivering small-town religious horror with wit as sharp as a ritual dagger piercing through a bleeding core of familial trauma.” -Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Rachel Harrison has quickly secured her place as one of my favorite modern horror writers. Black Sheep is a devilish good time made all the more compelling with an exploration of the complexities of family dynamics. Compulsively readable, Harrison’s newest novel is a battle cry for every outcast daughter who has questioned her place among family and weighed the damage of going home again.” -Kristi DeMeester, author of Such a Pretty Smile “No other contemporary author harnesses the humanity found in horror quite like Rachel Harrison. With Black Sheep, she warms your heart, then breaks it, then rips it out.” -Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters ""Once again, Rachel Harrison finds light in the darkness and darkness in the light…Black Sheep sits proudly among her family of contemporary horror classics."" -Nat Cassidy, author of Mary: An Awakening of Terror and Nestlings ""Surprising and snappy, Harrison catches you on Hellraiser hooks with a ceremony of grim wit and communal dread. Black Sheep makes a firm case for dodging every family get-together."" - Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of Teeth"
