Review
“If the devil is in the details, then the devil has met his match. Castle Freeman, Jr. conjures an intricate tete-a-tete with the devil into a Vermont home-brew of brimstone and beneficence. Fast-paced, compulsive, The Devil in the Valley leaves you wanting more. Temptation on the page.”
- Gregory Maguire, bestselling author of Wicked and After Alice
“Castle Freeman has somehow infused The Devil in the Valley with a mysterious energy that keeps a reader eagerly turning pages while desperately hoping the book will go on and on. This is fine and deeply enjoyable writing.”
- David Huddle, author of The Faulkes Chronicle
