Praise for Vivian Schilling's SACRED PREY

"Thoroughly gripping … highly respectable writing."
--CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

"A psychological thriller you won't forget ... written with an imagination that smacks of part Edgar Allan Poe / part island voodoo ... an unforgettable trek."
--THE HERALD, North Carolina

“A page-turner … Sacred Prey reads fast and hard, like a gangster movie screenplay, with sharp images for impressionable minds open to the supernatural. It’s clear Vivian Schilling knows where she wants to take her readers … The book just takes a clear, clean shot at its target -- nothing fancy, just right to money. And it works.”
--Eva Wojcik-Obert

"Startling and Brilliant … Illuminating ... Vivian Schilling writes with all the passion of lightning. Her ideas brood and rumble and thunder and relentlessly strike home. The scenes snap and crackle like live wires, the characters pulsate with fear, the entire plot passes from one insight to another ... a terror filled, very metaphysical trek into atonement ... There's a powerful message here of dread and fury and the final peace that passes understanding."
--THE BOOK READER

"Screenwriter Schilling offers a chilling insight into fear lived through another man's eyes."
--COURIER GAZETTE, New York

"Move Over Dean Koontz, there's a new name on the horizon. It's Schilling, Vivian Schilling. Rarely does a book blow me over -- maybe once or twice per year. Sacred Prey is that rare exception. Terrific and fantastic are the terms that come to mind to describe this unique premise and tidy execution."
--JACKSONVILLE TIMES-UNION

"A mighty tale of action, adventure, passion and brutality ... the author keeps us riveted to the end, when she ties it all up with the neatest bow ribbon ever."
--WEST COAST REVIEW OF BOOKS/RAPPORT

"Suspenseful ... well done!"
--LIBRARY JOURNAL

"Downright entertaining ... Schilling handles this with the panache of the practiced screenwriter she is. Though this is her first novel, the genre is very close to her (Future Shock) made-for-television movie, the tricks for the latter serve well in crafting this fast-paced novel ... Well handled."
--THE BATON ROUGE ADVOCATE

"Screenwriter Schilling shows deft storytelling ability ... fresh, lively, and supplied with plenty of suspenseful twists ... a promising debut that will surely entertain."
--PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY
