"Visceral, thrilling . . . A novel paced like a fistfight, aching like a just-gone tooth--but there's hope in the harrowing." --Max Gladstone, Hugo and Nebula award-winning author "With The Violence , Dawson takes no damn prisoners at all. This is a powerful, fascinating, and courageous gut punch of a book. Very highly recommended." --Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Relentless and V-Wars "It's rare to find a book of such tension that provides such catharsis in the end. The Violence is Dawson at her best: Unflinching yet empathetic, the brutal and the gentle side-by-side, rage and despair tempered with joy and hope. I tore through it and loved every minute of the ride." --Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of the Ink & Sigil series " The Violence is a stunning story with a cast of fully developed characters and an utterly convincing plot. It's a dark, exciting, and often charming tale of three amazing people who discover just how strong women can be." --Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches "A compulsively readable fusion of domestic thriller and modern horror that shocks and surprises at every turn. Dawson deftly sketches a realistic and cathartic narrative of pandemic-era suspense that exposes a complicated landscape of abuse, violence, awakening, and empowerment that will be intimately familiar to readers from families coming to grips with intergenerational trauma. A must-read!" --Kameron Hurley, author of The Light Brigade "With three-dimensional female characters and a timely subject, Delilah Dawson's The Violence reads like Stephen King at his best. A powerful, moving story with broad appeal." --Sara Donati, bestselling author of the Wilderness series "Dawson's The Violence deserves massive mainstream attention. Three generations of women find terror, resiliency, and a strange new freedom in a world overrun by a virus that causes bursts of homicidal rage. Horrifying and inspiring in equal measure, it shines a light on the epidemic of abuse women have always endured, folded into a stellar thriller full of danger, courage, and characters who feel alive. Read it!" --Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of Bones and Ararat "This book is personal, and you feel it on every page. It's a brilliant take on the trauma of abuse and the insidiousness of violence, an inspiring story of self-discovery, resilience, and hope, and a page-turning thrill ride that will leave you breathless. Gripping. Chilling. Wildly cathartic." --Sylvain Neuvel, author of The Themis Files and A History of What Comes Next, "Dawson's prose is a kind of knife work: short, sharp stabs after agonies of teeth-clenching tension. . . .Dizzyingly effective . . . It's impossible not to read." -- The New York Times Book Review "Enthusiastically suggest to readers who enjoyed the table-turning feminism of Naomi Alderman's The Power , the band-of-survivors theme in Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven , and the emotional journey of Victor LaValle's The Changeling. " -- Booklist (starred review) "[A] smart, fast-paced thrill ride." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) " The Violence is a novel that will stand out for its intelligence, for its compassion, for its 'un-put-down-able-ness.' . . . It is the kind of novel that will stand the test of time." -- SFF World "A propulsive redemption story." -- Library Journal "A paean to the resilience of women . . . The Violence could not be more of-the-moment." --Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger and The Deep "A piercing examination of survival, courage, and self, terrifying and hopeful in equal measure." --Peng Shepherd, award-winning author of The Book of M "A novel that defines this era." --Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians "A stellar thriller full of danger, courage, and characters who feel alive." --Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of Bones and Ararat " The Violence is Dawson at her best: unflinching yet empathetic, the brutal and the gentle side by side, rage and despair tempered with joy and hope." --Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of the Ink & Sigil series " The Violence isn't just a timely, ripping thriller--it's an intimate, thoughtful, heart-wrenching portrait of abuse and power, and how those things ripple through generations." --Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse "A compulsively readable fusion of domestic thriller and modern horror that shocks and surprises at every turn. A must-read!" --Kameron Hurley, author of The Light Brigade "A staggering, masterful tale of survival and redemption during a literal epidemic of violence. Dawson is a storyteller working at the top of her class." --Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of Wanderers "Visceral, thrilling . . . A novel paced like a fistfight, aching like a just-gone tooth--but there's hope in the harrowing." --Max Gladstone, Hugo and Nebula award-winning author "Dawson pulls no punches in The Violence , an edge-of-your-seat thriller packed with horror and hope." --Christina Dalcher, bestselling author of Vox "Delilah Dawson's The Violence reads like Stephen King at his best." --Sara Donati, bestselling author of the Wilderness series, "Dawson's thriller is a surprising, exhilarating journey of three generations of women navigating a changing world." -- The Washington Post "Every summer needs a superb thriller, and this is it. A story of three generations of women making their way through an America ravaged by violence, this is also a wonderful narrative about liberation and perseverance." -- Boston Globe "Dawson's prose is a kind of knife work: short, sharp stabs after agonies of teeth-clenching tension. . . .Dizzyingly effective . . . It's impossible not to read." -- The New York Times Book Review "Enthusiastically suggest to readers who enjoyed the table-turning feminism of Naomi Alderman's The Power , the band-of-survivors theme in Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven , and the emotional journey of Victor LaValle's The Changeling.
