A
neo-gothic
treat;
original,
richly
imagined,
and
powerfully
told."
--The
Guardian(UK)
forThe
String
Diaries
See
the
girl.
Leah
Wilde
is
twenty-four,
a
runaway
on
a
black
motorbike,
hunting
for
answers
while
changing
her
identity
with
each
new
Central
European
town.
See
the
man,
having
come
of
age
in
extraordinary
suffering
and
tragedy
in
nineteenth-century
Budapest;
witness
to
horror,
to
love,
to
death,
and
the
wrath
of
a
true
monster.
Izsák
still
lives
in
the
present
day,
impossibly
middle-aged.
He's
driven
not
only
to
hunt
this
immortal
evil
but
to
find
his
daughter,
stolen
from
an
Arctic
cabin
and
grown
into
the
thing
Izsák
has
sworn
to
kill.
See
the
monster,
a
beautiful,
seemingly
young
woman
who
stalks
the
American
West,
seeking
the
young
and
the
strong
to
feed
upon,
desperate
to
return
to
Europe
where
her
coven
calls.
Written
in
the
Bloodis
the
epic
thriller
of
the
year,
a
blazing
and
dexterous
saga
spanning
generations,
and
threading
the
lives
of
five
individuals
driven
by
love,
by
sacrifice,
by
hunger
and
by
fear.
They
seek
to
save
a
race--or
to
extinguish
it
forever.

"Stephen Lloyd Jones' 2014 debut novel,The String Diaries,was a stunning, supernatural ride. His 2015 follow-up,Written in the Blood,surpasses that success, greatly expanding the world and mythology he created in an even bigger, more ambitious and more fully-realized tale. . . . A sprawling, suspenseful and massively engrossing tale,Written in the Bloodspans centuries and perspectives to paint a portrait of the rise and fall of a species that incorporates politics, grudges, romance, treachery, struggle and intrigue, all masterfully spun around a handful of connected players. It's a rich story that has the detail and precision of a scholastic study thrust upon the suspense and visual grandeur of a cinematic thriller."—Brooke Wylie,Examiner.com
"An exciting and absorbing tale"—Sarah Rachel Egelman,BookReporter.com
"The pace is so fast that readers are essentially propelled through the book, carried from one character to another, bouncing around from one place in the world to another, completely caught up in the story. A novel that's just as good as the one that came before-and, in this case, that means essential reading for devotees of high-end sf."—Booklist (starred review)
"The String Diariesis an engrossing, mind-bending supernatural tale, and Stephen Lloyd Jones is as exciting a new voice as I've come across in some time, a writer who understands what makes the pulse race."—Michael Koryta,
