Praise for Premee Mohamed "A wonderful genre-defying adventure, rife with strange heart and weird horror. But most notable is its particular, careful attention to its characters. Premee Mohamed is a bold new voice." Chuck Wendig on Beneath the Rising "A perfect balance of thriller, horror and humour; reminded me of The Gone-Away World." Adrian Tchaikovsky on Beneath the Rising "One of the most exciting new voices in speculative fiction." Silvia Moreno-Garcia on Beneath the Rising "Every reveal is gasp-out-loud astonishing." Charlie Jane Anders on Beneath the Rising "The Great Gatsby, if Gatsby rose from her coffin in her most elegant gown and avenged herself. And What Can We Offer You Tonight questions the notion that we must be better victims than the villains who don't care how they hurt us-and then shows us how it feels when justice rings true." C.L. Polk "Exquisitely grotesque." Caitlin Starling on And What Can We Offer You Tonight
