“This short novel packs a powerful, fever-dreamy bite. On one hand, Feldman's striking novel is an unblinking side-eye at our apocalyptic near-future. On the other, it's a soaring dark fantastic romp full of alchemy, blood, and life. Pick up this book and party like it's Saturnalia."—Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers Club

“Stephanie Feldman’s Saturnalia achieves a lifetime in one night: The story is both a suspenseful thriller populated by magic and money, and a sharp look into the heart of young people coming of age in a slow apocalypse. Brilliant and fast paced, with enough beauty and hope to ease a troubled evening's passage.”—Fran Wilde, double Nebula award winning author of Updraft, Riverland, and the Gemworld Series

Saturnalia is a tense, supernatural tour through a magic-bent, paganized Philadelphia — that also manages to be heartfelt and beautifully written. I wolfed this down, and Feldman’s talent left me spinning. Don’t miss this."—Daryl Gregory, award-winning author of Spoonbenders
