- Bill Cameron, author of County Line
“Chuck Wendig is one of those rare authors with such masterful use of language,
and such a good ear for dialogue, that he engages the reader from
the first page and never lets go.”
- David Brzeski, British Fantasy Society

Praise and Reviews:
For Blackbirds and Mockingbird
[Blackbirds is] one dark book. Think Six Feet Under co-written by Stephen King and Chuck Palahniuk… Wendig’s surefooted prose means that this ride is well worth sticking your thumb out for.” 4 ****
- SFX Magazine
“…a treat for the horror fan, filled with cinematic moments and genuine spookiness … Fans of American Gothic and The Lost Room will find themselves on familiar ground and will lap this up.”
- Ed Fortune, Starburst Magazine
“Visceral and often brutal, this tale vibrates with emotional rawness that helps to paint a bleak, unrelenting picture of life on the edge.”
- Publishers Weekly
“Trailer-park tension, horrified hilarity, and sheer terror mixed with deft characterization and razor plotting. I literally could not put it down.”
- Lilith Saintcrow, author of Night Shift and Working for the Devil
“Balls-to-the-wall, take-no-prisoners storytelling at its best.”
- Bill Cameron, author of County Line.
“Blackbirds is a horror story, a traveling story, a story of loss and what it takes to make things right. It’s a story about fate and how sometimes, if we wrestle with it hard enough, maybe we can change it. Blackbirds is the kind of book that doesn’t let go even after you’ve put it down and nobody else could have made it shine like Chuck Wendig.”
- Stephen Blackmoore, author, City of the Lost and Dead Things
“Mean, moody and mysterious, Blackbirds is a noir joyride peppered with black humour, wry observation, and visceral action. Fans of Chuck Wendig will not be disappointed.”
- Adam Christopher, author of Empire State and Seven Wonders
“A gleefully dark, twisted road trip for everyone who thought Fight Club was too warm and fuzzy. If you enjoy this book, you’re probably deeply wrong in the head. I loved it, and will be seeking professional help as soon as Chuck lets me out of his basement.”
- James Moran, Severance, Doctor Who and Torchwood screenwriter
“Mockingbird, dare I say, is even better than its predecessor, a heady feat considering the pressure of novels written in series format. Chuck Wendig delivers on the promise he established in Blackbirds. The continuing saga of Miriam Black never lags with its hairpin plot turns and freakishly ornate imagery. It is a book that, once consumed, will leave you famished for the next installment.”
- Jennifer Sommersby, LitStack
