What people are saying about A Twisted Ladder...
"Rhodi Hawk has reshaped Southern Gothic and made it her own. Alternately lyrical and disturbing, majestic and profoundly creepy, A Twisted Ladder sings with an unabashed love of the South even while lifting its rocks to reveal the decay and darkness lurking beneath."—F. Paul Wilson , author of the Repairman Jack novels
"Eerie and evocative, A Twisted Ladder provides scares and surprises galore."—Tess Gerritsen, author of THE MEPHISTO CLUB.
"Rhodi Hawk's A Twisted Ladder is a phenomenal novel, a thriller with characters that are intriguing and real, a sublime plot, and all the right ingredients. This is a fabulous first book from an author who knows how to tell a story. I see an incredible future for her."—Heather Graham
"Rhodi Hawk's A Twisted Ladder is a novel of great power, a nasty Southern genre twister with a full dose of dark and light presented to us in fine controlled prose. It has all the great elements of Southern literature, but still manages to be be hip and hot underneath those Southern shadows. I haven't been this impressed with a new writer in quite some time."
—Joe R. Lansdale
"Rhodi Hawk’s riveting thriller A Twisted Ladder is a lean, mean page-turner that builds with the precision of a literary scalpel. Drenched in southern gothic atmosphere, Hawk’s novel hums with the menace of a swamp crawling with gators. But there’s so much more -- a fascinating bayou history, a wrenching family drama, and even a cutting edge backdrop of brain science that rivals Michael Crichton. Highly recommended!"
—Jay Bonansinga"A Twisted Ladder is eerily fascinating, suspenseful and psychologically compelling."
—Pamela Wallace, Academy Award Winning writer of Witness
"Rhodi Hawk is a fantastic storyteller. Her novel A Twisted Ladder quickly hooks the reader with elements of rich southern imagery and dark suspense. Her characters are real and thoughtful, as is evident in Dr. Madeline Savage's personal journey deep into the potential of the human mind. With a rich storytelling prowess comparable to such writers as John Berendt and Greg Iles, A Twisted Ladder is sure to become a first novel not only worthy of publication, but of award recognition."
—Michael Laimo, author of Dead Souls
