Description: "[Jamey] Bradbury has written a lovely and intense novel about the precarious balance of life and death, what it means to be human and fragile in a hostile environment, and, perhaps, what it means to be something other than entirely human." - Library Journal (starred review) "[Jamey] Bradbury cultivates vivid atmosphere with visceral action and a dynamic cast of characters...readers who like earthy, genre-blending, coming-of-age stories should be pleased." - Booklist "Original and compelling." - Anchorage Daily News "An unusual love story and a creepy horror novel -- think of the Bront sisters and Stephen King...The architecture of the storytelling is faultless." - John Irving "A taut, atmospheric thriller, steeped in the rich setting of the Alaskan wilderness, told in the unique, compelling voice of 18-year-old Tracy. Jamey Bradbury has crafted a stunning debut full of secrets and hunger, grief and longing. Like the cold of an Alaskan winter, this book chilled me and wrapped me in quiet dread." - Jennifer McMahon "A taut, atmospheric thriller...Jamey Bradbury has crafted a stunning debut full of secrets and hunger, grief and longing. Like the cold of an Alaskan winter, this book chilled me and wrapped me in quiet dread." - Jennifer McMahon "Half Daniel Woodrell and half Jack London, The Wild Inside is a uniquely American coming-of-age tale set on the Alaskan frontier where the borderlines between civilization and savagery, between man and beast, between good and evil, between who we like to think we are and who we actually are, become blurred. Written with a lush, poetic grittiness, the story takes an unflinching look at the brutalities of one young woman's personal demons--the way she tries to suppress them and, sometimes, the way she sets them free. What Bradbury has created is a remarkable fable of growing up in the new world--violent and sensitive at the same time--and dazzlingly written throughout." - Joshua Gaylord, author of When We Were Animals "A uniquely American coming-of-age tale set on the Alaskan frontier where the borderlines between civilization and savagery...become blurred...A remarkable fable of growing up in the new world." - Joshua Gaylord, author of When We Were Animals "A unique take on rural noir." - Publishers Weekly
