CEMETERY DANCE Reviews OUR WAR

August 5, 2019 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

CEMETERY DANCE recently reviewed OUR WAR, writing, “This may be one of the most important books you’ll read this year. I say that without an ounce of hyperbole. Given the current climate of our country and its cultural, political, and social polarization, Craig DiLouie has written a heart-breaking, terrifying novel which—I desperately hope—will only be a warning, and not someday viewed as prophetic.”

Thank you for your kind review, CEMETERY DANCE! Check out the complete review here.
