“Deeply moving, sad and haunting, Into Captivity They Will Go reminds me of Salinger when he was at his most interesting; it is an intense and propulsive novel exploring what it means to be alive and spiritual in a world ignoring such ideas.”–Brandon Hobson, author of Where The Dead Sit Talking

“An ambitious and original novel that dares to explore – with both sharp-eyed clarity and full-hearted empathy – worlds and characters too often overlooked in contemporary fiction.”–Lou Berney, author of November Road

“Immersive . . . compelling and terrifying.”–Foreword Reviews (Starred Review)
