Editorial Reviews

"Kaaron Warren's writing is always simple, elegant and deadly. It’s like quicksand—a few steps in and you are waist-deep and never, ever getting out. She writes with the logic of a madwoman—which is to say that her words are irrefutable and have the terrifying ring of truth. The Grief Hole may be my favorite of all her books—sentence for sentence, as always, she makes me feel like a fraud for calling myself a writer. The Grief Hole put me immediately into a world I wish I'd never seen and never wanted to leave.”  —Leslie Bohem, screenwriter and television writer


“Kaaron Warren’s The Grief Hole is a powerhouse of a novel; creepy, disturbing, and genuinely moving. Theresa’s interventions and, of course, the devastating aftermaths will haunt you long after you finish this book.” – Paul Tremblay, author, A Head Full of Ghosts
