Praise for Chandler Klang Smith "Chandler Klang Smith is clearly a
writer of promise, with an eloquent and poetic imagination and a
feel for language that more than matches it."
--Strange Horizons "Smith's first novel captures the uncertainty
and surreal qualities of circus life in gorgeous prose. Her
characters represent archetypes of the 'circus freak' as well as
very real people with deep-rooted feelings and motivations. Part
dark fantasy, part magical realism in the style of James Blaylock
and Tim Powers, Smith's tale deserves exposure to a crossover
audience."
--Library Journal "Smith's debut showcases a cornucopia of
memorably weird personalities in a handful of vivid moments. . . .
All of this is utterly fantastic and wonderful."
--Publishers Weekly "Chandler Klang Smith is one of the most
exciting new novelists I have read in some time. Her precise,
lyrical voice should enchant a good many readers. Goldenland Past
Dark is an impressive debut that signals the beginning of a long
and fruitful career."
--Nicholas Christopher, author of Veronica and The Bestiary "Like a
Max Fleischer cartoon or a Charlie Chaplin film, Goldenland Past
Dark sneaks in real, unsettling weirdness and lingering melancholy
behind a facade of zany fun. In this vivid, highly original debut,
Chandler Klang Smith proves herself to be an imaginative force to
be reckoned with. Step inside this circus tent: you'll be glad you
did."
--Christopher Miller, author of The Cardboard Universe and Sudden
Noises from Inanimate Objects "Chandler Klang Smith's debut is
filled with fascinating freaks and language that evokes the magic
of a night under the big top."
--Lev AC Rosen, author of All Men of Genius
