"The Reformatory is a masterpiece -- a new American classic of the
uncanny. I was gripped from the first lines to the
catch-your-breath desperation of the final pages. Even in the
tale's grimmest moments, Tananarive Due insists on the almost
supernatural power of simple kindness. You have to read this
book."----Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The
Fireman
"A riveting masterpiece that manages to be both heartwarming and
chilling...literally impossible to stop reading."-- "--Locus
Magazine"
"You're in for a treat The Reformatory is one of those books you
can't put down. Tananarive Due hit it out of the park."----Stephen
King
"One of the best novels published in 2023. A superb mix of literary
fiction, horror, and historical fiction."--Gabino Iglesias, "NPR
Books"
"An epic novel of horror and real history. Tananarive Due displays
all her powers as a master of the form, there's frights and chills
and also so much love. I tore through this book. This novel is a
straight up masterpiece, it should be read and remembered for a
long time." --Victor LaValle, bestselling author of The Changeling,
and Lone Women
"Moby Dick might have flipped America on its back to show the
rotting underbelly, but The Reformatory's looking just as closely
at our bad history, and somehow finding the heart beating
underneath it all. This is the novel I've been waiting for. It
breaks your heart, but it also holds it together." --Stephen Graham
Jones, bestselling author of The Only Good Indians, and My Heart is
a Chainsaw
"Tananarive Due at her best. Hallucinatory, haunting, terrifying
and moving, a tour de force of a novel." --S. A. Cosby, bestselling
author of All the Sinners Bleed, Razorblade Tears, and Blacktop
"The writing here is spectacular; the pacing, engrossing; the
setting, heartbreaking but honest; and the characters are given a
nuance and depth rarely seen... A masterpiece of fiction."
--Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW "With fully realized characters
and well-placed twists, Due ratchets up the tension until the
final, extraordinary showdown."
-Booklist, STARRED REVIEW "A vividly realized page-turner, which is
at once an ingenious ghost story, a white-knuckle adventure, and an
illuminating if infuriating look back at a shameful period in
American jurisprudence."
-Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW "Her fiction is always powerful,
and The Reformatory promises to be her most moving -- and
horrifying -- tale yet." --Vulture "One of the greatest living
horror writers.... Sure to be as powerful as it is haunting."

--Book Riot
