Praise & Reviews

Dana McSwain is the Queen of Horror.

Cleveland Magazine

A Gothic tale of horror with a touch of fantasy, Roseneath reads like a beloved book from your childhood that you've just rediscovered in your mother's attic. McSwain's prose is poetry, smooth jazz, and oftentimes charming even when describing the darkest terrors.

James Renner, author of The Man From Primrose Lane
