"[A] dark fairytale about the struggle between good and evil in each person's heart." -- Booklist "A devious twist, gloriously horrific monsters, and gentle explorations of grief bring this fable to an emotional close." -- Publishers Weekly "Fans of dark fantasy with horrifying monsters and action will enjoy the rising action of this novel and its unique world." -- School Library Journal "Delicate beauty and startling monstrosities." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books " The Losting Fountain is sweet and terrible in the gloriously gutting tradition of Diana Wynne Jones and Richard Adams. A modern fable, this journey through a new, beautifully recognizable landscape of the heart is a quick, compelling read. Highly recommended." -- Seanan McGuire, award-winning author of the Wayward Children series "Lora Senf's brain is so weird in the best possible ways.

If I have to get lost anywhere, I'm glad it's in her imagination. With a cast of fully realized and heartbreaking characters and an intriguing new world beyond our own, The Losting Fountain is a darkly delightful addition to any library or bookshelf." -- Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of And I Darken "In The Losting Fountain , Lora Senf wields eerie unease like a violin, and from it, plays strange, sad music--you will be lured by the siren's song of her story, and eager to be lost in its pages. Needless to say, I will read anything Lora writes." --Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of Dust & Grim "Lora Senf is an expert guide through the shadowy borderlands between nightmare and fairy tale, channeling all their terror, weirdness, and heartbreak--but also their beauty and surprising tenderness. The Losting Fountain is a luminous, scary dreamscape, the kind you wake up from and immediately wish you could return to explore." -- Amelinda Bérubé, author of Here There are Monsters.
