"Gritty historical drama meets supernatural horror in this sumptuously drawn tale set during the Yukon Gold Rush." -- Publishers Weekly "The Rush is a chilling bit of historical horror. Rugged and raw and thoroughly researched. It's got such a wonderfully creepy sense of menace but most of all it's the moving story of a mother searching for her child, that's its beating heart. Wonderful work." -- Victor Lavalle (author and Shirley Jackson Award winner for the fantasy-horror novella, The Ballad of Black Tom, as well as The Changeling, winner of the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, the Locus Award for Best Horror Novel, and the British Fantasy Award for Best Horror Novel) "The Rush is a splendidly savage tale of frontier scum and the doom they’ve brought down upon themselves, and the innocents cursed to suffer alongside them. I for one can’t wait to see more." -- Garth Ennis (Eisner Award- winning writer of Preacher, The Boys, Hitman, Punisher, The Darkness) "Strikes a wealthy mixed vein of sophisticated psychological chills and monstrous horror." -- Publishers Weekly Show more
