"the story is both simple-a ghost story-and as complex as the country it rises from, offering glimpses of Russia's unique and brutal history . . . and its exploration of the role of art as a vehicle for liberation. . . . Eerie and effective." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on The Haunting of Falcon House

"the novel’s 56 mini-chapters are interspersed with beguiling ink sketches of everything from star-soaked skies and stark graves to pitchforks and dozing kittens. The narrative itself . . . is by turns wide-eyed, inquisitive, and earnest. This is a haunting at its very best." -Booklist, starred review, on The Haunting of Falcon House

"Yelchin (Arcady's Goal) sets his imaginative, layered mystery-prefaced by a tongue-in-cheek opening note on the story's purported origins-in late-19th-century Saint Petersburg. . . . Offbeat, smudged sketches play a peculiar yet effective counterpoint to the evocative language, and helpful historical notes are included." -Publishers Weekly on The Haunting of Falcon House
