by Vivian Shaw
—Elizabeth Bear
“Shaw balances an agile mystery with a pitch-perfect, droll narrative and cast of lovable misfit characters. These are not your mother’s Dracula or demons.… Strange Practice is a super(natural) read.”
—Shelf Awareness
“This book is a joy to read, unlocking every bit of delicious promise in the premise.”
—B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
Dreadful Company

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Shaw’s elegant writing makes this series a standout in the genre.”
