Not Flesh Nor Feathers: 3 (Eden Moore) - Softcover

" A remarkably assured debut, a creepy modern-day Southern gothic that doesn' t rely on cliche but delivers an emotionally powerful tale of self-discovery and the supernatural." --"San Francisco"" Chronicle" on "Four and Twenty Blackbirds"
" "
" "Wings to the Kingdom" is not precisely a sequel, but a second chapter set in Eden' s overlapping worlds-- Priest' s beautifully detailed culture of the South, and the world of the dead: immediately adjacent, and always visible to Eden. "Wings" is more firmly based in the physical world than "Blackbirds" was, but it' s every bit as fascinating. Once again, Priest succeeds in making her story both straightforward and exquisitely strange." --"Green Man Review"
" Priest kills as a stylist. Debut novel? You could have fooled me. "Four and Twenty Blackbirds" feels like it was written by an author with the assurance and experience of already having many books under her belt . . . . the book has everything going for it and you should definitely pick up a copy to see for yourself." --Charles De Lint, "Fantasy & Science Fiction"" "on "Four and Twenty Blackbirds"
"There's mystical, sultry appeal in the thick Chattanooga atmosphere and strong characterizations (Eden's tongue is as sharp as the heels of her signature black boots), and a mixed-race heroine lends welcome diversity to a genre well populated with porcelain-complected heroines.... Girl-goths will devour this whole, but also suggest it as a larky follow-up to forced readings of Harper Lee, William Faulkner, and the like." - "Booklist" on "Four and Twenty Blackbirds"
"The classic Southern gothic gets an edgy modern makeover in Priest's debut novel about a young woman's investigation into the truth of her origins.... Eden is a heroine for the aging Buffy crowd." --"Publishers Weekly "on "Four and Twenty Blackbirds"
"Wonderful. Enchanting. Amazing and original fiction that will satisfy that buttery Southern taste, as well as that biting aftertaste of the dark side. I loved it." --Joe R. Lansdale, Bram Stoker and Edgar Award-winning author of "The Bottoms," on "Four and Twenty Blackbirds"
