"Gillian Kendall has written a gripping, thoughtful, and oftentimes creepy tale of survival and the resilience of the human spirit. This deftly crafted debut novel will keep readers eagerly engaged (and maybe just a little bit terrified) until the stunning conclusion." -- Jessica Brody, bestselling author of the Unremembered Trilogy "A believable post-apocalyptic world, children reliably on their own, and a truly creepy villain makes this a wonderful page-turner that cannot be put down." --Jane Yolen, author of Devil's Arithmetic, Briar Rose, Snow in Summer "The Garden of Darkness is an astonishingly good debut about a cheerleader and a chess club member's struggle to survive absent adults in a landscape ravaged by the Pest pandemic." -- Tor.com
