"Almost every story about the persecution of women suspected of witchcraft is also a story about a society unable or unwilling to accept women as competent, powerful people. Darker, more psychological witch tales sometimes tease us as to whether the suspected witchcraft is actually real. Redlands manages to be both kinds of stories while leaving you with the distinct feeling that it’s less of a
gritty children’s story retooled for adults and more of a cautionary tale about what happens when you run afoul of the wrong women."
"Horror fans need to pay attention to Redlands. Hell, everybody needs to pay attention to Redlands–it’s freaking fantastic any way you cut it... You don’t want to miss the darkness that is unfolding here. Trust us."
"With Redlands, Bellaire and Del Rey have crafted something truly special (and terrifying). Redlands does southern gothic horror mercilessly well, but it does so by re-imagining elements of the genre ways that are fresh, modern, and deeply haunting. Bellaire's writing blends folklore with a contemporary urgency and Del Rey's art is beautifully, frighteningly immersive. A stunning debut."
