QUIETUS is the haunting story of a young woman brought back from the brink of death to find the world around her irrevocably altered.
“A GREAT GOTHIC RAVEN perched somewhere between Anne Rice and Iris Murdoch. It’s a spooky, sweeping book of death, dreams and psychosexual intrigue. Schilling herself–in her deft melding of mythic animus and modern anxiety–seems like the bastard daughter of Carl Jung and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley…I loved it.”
—James Ireland Baker, Time Out New York
