Praise for Laura Benedict:
"Laura Benedict's stories beckon you deeper and deeper down the dark halls of the mind. Yet they're somehow warming to the heart-populated with characters you can't help but love, however disturbed, and set in places you desperately want to explore, however dangerous. This is true storytelling."
-- Josh Woods, Author of O MONSTROUS WORLD!, and host of The Monster Professor podcast on WHEN I MAKE LOVE TO THE BUG MAN
"Suspenseful and moving, THE STRANGER INSIDE gripped me from the first page. Laura Benedict is at the top of her game."
-MEG GARDINER, Edgar-winning author of INTO THE BLACK NOWHERE
"THE STRANGER INSIDE is an intense, fascinating character study that will have you rooting for Kimber while she turns her life around and tries to stay alive." -CATHERINE COULTER, NYT bestselling author of VORTEX
"Ever-twisting, surprise-filled . . . Kimber is the epitome of the unreliable narrator. Readers will enjoy vicarious chills in her company."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review, THE STRANGER INSIDE
"Reader be warned! Laura Benedict has written a novel that may well keep you awake at night, and not only because Bliss House is flat-out scary. Benedict knows how to craft a story in such a way that, once begun, it is nearly impossible to put down." --Ron Rash, author of SERENA
"Benedict's writing is lush and seamless, catapulting the reader into the gripping story from the opening line and holding them, taut and breathless, to the very last." -J.T. Ellison, NYT Bestselling author of HER DARK LIES on BLISS HOUSE
"A skillfully rendered mixture of ghost story and mystery that draws on the spirits of du Maurier, Stephen King and ― in its depiction of a tormented family ― Joyce Carol Oates." --Richmond Times-Dispatch on CHARLOTTE'S STORY
