“Madrid’s spooky debut effortlessly unspools a supernatural mystery[...] Add in some wonderfully complex female leads, and this is a pleasure.” -Publishers Weekly
“Copper City feels like a character in itself, packed with small-town lore and a bloody history that haunts its inhabitants. The result is a sharp and atmospheric whodunit and a queer ghost story packed full of twists that will leave readers guessing.” -Kirkus Reviews
“Deeply immersive, exhilarating, and unflinching in the face of terror[...] an empowering horror novel that tangles and transcends time and sparks with furious energy.” -Nova Ren Suma, New York Times bestselling author of The Walls Around Us
“I utterly loved this book, with its hazy atmospheric prose, gorgeously messy girls, and fresh spin on hometown ghosts. It is heart-wrenching, harrowing and beautiful all the way through, and I adored every word on the pages.” -Camilla Bruce, author of At the Bottom of the Garden and You Let Me In
