Praise for Humboldt Cut by Allison Mick "At once a paean to the northwestern forests and a terrifying slide into the darkest places of the woods, Mick's fantastic debut explores the relationship between humans and the earth that keeps them alive--or can kill them. A propulsive ecohorror novel that will gently curl its tendrils around readers' fingers and never let go." -- Booklist , STARRED REVIEW "A brisk and beguilingly strange novel that reimagines genre tropes and asks heady questions about sorrow, vengeance and healing. Humboldt Cut goes big, encouraging readers to revisit their assumptions about the economic, political and social systems that shape us. But most of all, it's really entertaining." -- San Francisco Chronicle " Humboldt Cut casts revelatory light on those shadow histories; it conveys a more inclusive narrative of place--the stretch of the unchecked press of the frontier movement, the blood sunk deep in its soil." -- Alta Journal "Mick balances horror and humor brilliantly in this bold novel that asks big questions about our relationship to the natural world. You will never see forests the same way again after reading it.

" --T. L. Huchu, USA Today bestselling author "A wild ride through grief, humor, and horror, all rooted in the majestic redwoods. Allison Mick's voice is fresh and fearless, and this debut feels like sitting around a campfire where the stories are visceral and engrossing, making you glad there's no clock to tell you it's way past your bedtime." --Jeremy Bates , nationally bestselling author of The No-End House "Allison Mick is the queen of eco-horror, and this novel will put you through the ringer." --Richard Thomas , Bram Stoker, Shirley Jackson, and Thriller Award finalist "A terrifying, lyrical masterpiece of ecology and ecohorror." --Gretchen McNeil , author of They Fear Not Men in the Woods and #murdertrending "A sensory experience that will make you forget where you are, Humboldt Cut gets under the skin and stays there." --Neena Viel , author of Listen to Your Sister "Both a love letter to national forests and a cautionary warning, Mick meticulously blends mysticism and elemental horror with laugh out loud humor.

You'll never look at those redwoods the same way again." --Veronica G. Henry , best-selling author of The Canopy Keepers "With hypnotic prose mirroring the forest's allure and menace, Mick draws readers deeper into the shadows until turning back is impossible. Humboldt Cut is Mother Nature's answer to Jaws ." --Leopoldo Goût , award-winning artist, filmmaker, and author of Piñata.
