Graveminder - Softcover

"If anyone can put the goth in Southern Gothic, it's Melissa Marr...Marr [is] careful to ensure that the book's wider themes ... matter to us as much as the multiple cases of heebie-jeebies she doles out."--NPR

"Marr serves up a quirky dark fantasy fashioned around themes of fate, free will-and zombies...well-drawn characters and their dramatic interactions keep the tale loose and lively."--Publishers Weekly

"The emotional dance between Rebekkah and Byron will captivate female readers [and] fantasy-horror fans will demand more."--Kirkus Reviews

"Dark and dreamy . . . Rod Serling would have loved GRAVEMINDER . . . Marr is not tapping into the latest horde of zombie novels, she's created a new kind of undead creature . . . A creatively creepy gothic tale for grown-ups."--USA Today

"A deliciously creepy tale that is as skillfully wrought as it is spellbindingly imagined."--Kelley Armstrong

"Compelling, sexy, and riveting, you will not want to miss Graveminder!"--Jeaniene Frost, New York Times bestselling author of the Night Huntress series

"Melissa Marr has created a fabulous, richly-imagined world in Claysville and its attendant piece of the Underworld."--Seattle Post-Intelligencer

In her atmospheric and eerie tale, readers and protagonists jointly discover the secrets literally buried in this small town as Marr weaves a richly gothic tale filled with curses, responsibility and death. Outstanding!"--RT Book Reviews (top pick)

"No one builds worlds like Melissa Marr."--Charlaine Harris

"Marr creates sympathetic characters, she takes readers to places both sinister and delightful, and there's a satisfying end to a wonderfully awful villain...Fans will be looking for a sequel to this cozy horror story as soon as they read the last page."--Washington Post
