“This novel’s potboiler pace and mise en scène have all the earmarks of a Fitzhugh-or Hiaasen-like dive into corruption and old, stanky secrets in the dark belly of semirural Florida. I love it.”
—Green Man Review

“A bold, genre-shifting novel that challenges expectations while delivering a gripping, character-driven ride.”
—Read at Joe’s

“David Liss is one of the best storytellers alive.”
—Rhodi Hawk, author of This Town Won’t Tell

Praise for David Liss

On The Peculiarities

“David Liss masterfully blends rich historical fiction with terrifying supernatural body horror. He stands with Robert Louis Stevenson and Bram Stoker.”
—Jonathan Maberry, author of V-Wars and Ink

“A fun, horrific, engaging mystery, both for the story and for watching an accomplished writer stepping out into new territory.”
—Jeffrey Ford, author of A Natural History of Hell

“It made me think, and go on thinking as one idea sprang to another, and on, and on. That is the greatest gift a writer can give.”
—Anne Perry, author of the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series

“David Liss turns a new corner, and at the end of it is a splendid, unique and surprising tale.”
—Joe R. Lansdale, author of Hap and Leonard

“Wry, witty, twisty and tricky, The Peculiarities will slowly draw you into Liss’s strange world of magic and monsters.”
—Shana Abé, author of The Second Mrs. Astor

“David Liss leans into early 20th century occult thinking with the same mystical fervor as Crowley, Mathers, and Yeats—the holy trinity of the era.”
—Mark Teppo, author of the Codex of Souls series
