Praise for The Violence: "The Violence in The Violence might be contagious, but what you really catch here is the anger-so righteous, and so right here, right now. Delilah Dawson might have written the novel that defines this era."-Stephen Graham Jones "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 "A gorgeously creative and surprisingly gleeful story about the way violence infects every aspect of American life."-Sarah Langan "A paean to the resilience of women . . . As the characters in this novel fight for their lives in a pandemic-cursed hellscape, The Violence could not be more of-the-moment."-Alma Katsu "Delilah S. Dawson has crafted a pandemic thriller that's so much more-a piercing examination of survival, courage, and self, terrifying and hopeful in equal measure."-Peng Shepherd "An inspiring story of self-discovery, resilience, and hope, and a page-turning thrill ride that will leave you breathless."-Sylvain Neuvel "Horrifying and inspiring in equal measure, The Violence 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."-Christopher Golden
