“Kraus gets under your skin with brutal, elegant efficiency. Necessarily horrifying, devastatingly timely. This book will haunt you.”—Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein and Slayer

“Bent Heavens is the darkest, angriest, and most grotesque alien horror story that I've ever encountered. Hell. Yes.”—Stephanie Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of There's Someone Inside Your House

“This is going to blow a lot of readers’ brains. It is part alien story, part story about conspiracy theories, part story about the power of the media, part story about growing up without much in rural Iowa, and part story about family. It’s by turns heartening and heartbreaking, and it’s a story featuring a main character who is unlikable and angry and violent...and also one full of compassion, discovering a moral compass, and wrestling with unbelievable grief and frustration, taking it out through the only means she can. Smart, complex, and exceptionally timely, Kraus’s part-horror, part-science fiction, wholly human story is engaging, enraging, and an absolute winner. I'll be thinking about this book for a long time, and I can't wait to revisit it and see exactly how he wove everything together in such a compelling and savvy way.”—Kelly Jensen, editor, Book Riot

“Those familiar with Kraus’s work will know his modus operandi explores the horrors of human capability, and Bent Heavens pulls not a single punch. In a world where otherness is attacked in the name of false righteousness, this powerful, enraging novel will remind us to live. By turns stunning and shocking and painfully visceral, Kraus’s newest novel speaks to the universal language of pain, suffering, and healing.” —Emily Fardoux, head of youth and teen services, Lincolnwood Library
