Deirdre Sullivan handles darkness in a way that instills addictive dread, but also, somehow, hope. She is a natural successor to Angela Carter - and <i>Perfectly Preventable Deaths</i>, a tale of rural horror, family and peril, is the Irish Gothic we deserve.

- Sarah Maria Griffin, author of SPARE AND FOUND PARTS,

This is the novel the recent <i>Sabrina</i> reboot wishes it could be - a thrilling, eerie exploration of sisterhood, first love and dark powers hiding out of sight. <i>Perfectly Preventable Deaths</i> lures you in with wit and compassion before hitting you with horror and twists worthy of Stephen King or Shirley Jackson. Nobody writes teenagers or witches like Deirdre Sullivan, and <i>Perfectly Preventable Deaths</i> is her best novel yet.

Dave Rudden, author of KNIGHTS OF THE BORROWED DARK

I am completely smitten with Madeline's voice and this witty, wise and weird depiction of a quiet, strange village where neither girls nor small creatures are safe from predators. Deirdre Sullivan has crafted a tale that is both achingly tender and unsettlingly creepy, a world where magic and love have tremendous power and devastating consequences.
