Description: Praise for The Croning : ". . . most years bring at least a handful ofnovels whose titles can stand to be mentioned alongside Matheson's I Am Legend , Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House , and King's The Shining . To this year's list, add Laird Barron's The Croning ." -- L.A. Review of Books " The Croning , then, is an unspeakably intimate novel of cosmic horror. From the darkly fantastic fairytale with which it opens and closes through to a deeply disturbing yet massively satisfying climax, via an assortment of effulgent intermezzos--gratifying in their own right, but also critical to the success of the central thread--it demonstrates Laird Barron is as adept a genre novelist as he is undoubtedly a purveyor of shorter horror." -- Strange Horizons
