Review Quotes
"A captivating new novel... As One of Us gleefully samples multiple registers -- comic, tragic, satiric, elegiac, poetic -- its mesh of archaic and contemporary styles becomes something quite arresting, a joy to read."
--The New York Times
--Los Angeles Times
"One of Us triumphs... a compelling, bloodcurdling, often funny delight."
--Wall Street Journal "Only in Dan Chaon's hands does a rollicking tale of a traveling sideshow carnival, serial killer, and psychic orphaned twins become a complex, soaring elegy for an America that never was and never will be. One of Us is a brilliant novel and a beating heart in the darkness."
--Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie and A Head Full of Ghosts "One of Us is an immersive, thrilling, and wonderfully twisted funhouse mirror of a novel. Dan Chaon builds a reality just familiar enough to lure you in--then distorts it in the most unsettling, exhilarating ways. I couldn't look away."
--Danielle Trussoni, New York Times bestselling author of The Puzzle Box "I've run off to join the circus, Ma! It's Dan Chaon's. And I don't ever want to leave."
--Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter "Like all of Chaon's work, One of Us acknowledges the dark forces that challenge the goodness in his characters. That's why his books are so gripping: Good and evil are in constant battle and it's not at all clear which will win."
--The Minnesota Star Tribune "Chaon dazzles with his vision of family, strangeness, and the tension between care and exploitation. This captivating adventure is not to be missed."
--Publishers Weekly (starred) "Chaon has also delivered a sharp thriller ... Set mainly in 1915, the novel captures a vanished vaudeville world that Chaon resurrects in thoughtful detail, down to the era's slang (ziggety, conflustered, woofits). But in its latter chapters, the novel is also powerfully otherworldly, deliberately warping assumptions about life, death, and the nature of souls.... A magic trick: A novel that's both deeply unsettling and tenderhearted."
--Kirkus (starred)
