Reviews

“A finely honed work that always engages and frequently surprises.” — New York Times Book Review“Due masterfully maintains suspense all the while delineating her characters with a psychological realism that makes the unbelieble credible.” — Washington Post Book World“This novel of horror and the supernatural has an intriguing and suspenseful plot.” — Booklist“An extraordinary work of humane imagination...Call it magic realism with soul. The closest compatriot of The Between is Toni Morrison’s Beloved. Not shabby.” — Locus"Due’s first novel, a skillful blend of horror and the supernatural, poses questions about life and identity that transcend racial boundaries.” — Publishers Weekly“An intriguing first novel...neatly plotted and smoothly told.” — Kirkus Reviews“An irresistible page-turner.” — Emerge“The Between weaves the real and the surreal into a compelling tapestry of suspense and horror. A masterful debut.” — Connie Briscoe, author of Sisters & Lovers“Until now, African-American fiction has lacked a major horror writer. Tananarive Due fills that gap. Her intriguing plot holds readers in suspense until she neatly and profoundly ties together all the threads in the final three pages.” — Palm Beach Post“Due’s finely written, offbeat story is a provocative exploration into the fragile distinctions of reality.” — Oceanside Blade-Citizen“The Between is a powerful debut.” — Southern Book Trade
