Praise for Justin Cronin

One of those rare authors who work on two different levels, blending elegantly crafted literary fiction with cliff-hanging thrills.-Fort Worth Star-Telegram

The Passage

Magnificent . . . Cronin has taken his literary gifts, and he has weaponized them. . . . The Passage can stand proudly next to Stephen King's apocalyptic masterpiece The Stand, but a closer match would be Cormac McCarthy's The Road.-Time
