Wake - Tapa blanda

Wake is the creepiest book I've ever loved: gorgeous, horrifying and insanely inventive. Elizabeth Knox continues to monopolize my awe pedestal. (Laini Taylor, author of Dreams of Gods and Monsters)

Wake lingers as more than an intricate piece of blood-splattered clockwork; it is the work of an author who knows horror is more than gross anatomy. It’s also the ghosts and ruins of our own hearts. (NZ Listener)

Elizabeth Knox has the most original and lateral literary mind in New Zealand . . . I steamed through the book; by the end my hair stood on end. I shouted , "Holy shit!" several times. (Metro)

Irresistible. (NZ Herald)

Elizabeth Knox's gripping adult novels are literary but dynamic, sensuous and inventive. She has a striking ability to evoke a potent sense of time and place. (Independent)

Knox’s writing is sensory and lush and her imaginative intensity rivals the best of Diana Wynne Jones’s stories. (The Australian)

Sly and ingenious. (Eleanor Catton, author of The Luminaries, on Elizabeth Knox)

Brilliant. (Emily Perkins, author of The Forrests)

One for fans of Stephen King (Red magazine)

Although coming across like a hybrid of two recent Stephen King offerings, Cell and Under The Dome, the novel is a triumph all of its own. Knox writes with a rare psychological acuity about humans under pressure in an intolerable, incomprehensible predicament. (Financial Times)
