The Chicago Tribune loves The Raising!
“‘The Raising’ is that rare thing: a literary novel distinguished by splendid prose that is also a down-and-dirty page-turner, a creep show featuring empty caskets and walking corpses. It’s as if ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ had been rewritten by H.P. Lovecraft: You get the gravity and the profound moral seriousness, but you also get the goose bumps and the gore.”
I know a lot of you out there have read it too—did you agree?
Also, please know that for a brief second I considered titling this post “raise the roof for The Raising.”
