"Elements of fantasy and magical realism provide an intriguing framework for exploring the ideas of complicated grief and whether not telling the truth can leave real remnants that affect the world around us." -- Booklist "An extraordinary and deftly scripted novel by an obviously talented author, The Lies Among Us by Sarah Beth Durst is impressively original and will hold a very special appeal to readers with an interest in stories about family, friendship, and the psychological impact of domestic trauma." -- Midwest Book Review " The Lies among Us is a wonderfully inventive novel, beautifully written, with a cast of characters that is fantastic in every sense of the word.a marvelous read!" --Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches "This book is full of lies (and that's exactly why you should read it). The Lies among Us is an engrossing and wildly inventive story that takes a magic wand to the lies we tell ourselves and each other, and imagines a world in which the line between truth and fiction is a curtain that could be pulled back at any moment." --Ruth Emmie Lang, author of Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance.
