...brings the reader right up close to passion and its loss, loneliness and despair. A very unusual take on a subject we all think we know, but this is fresh and exciting...you want to read it again as soon as it's over. --novelist Kit de Waal, Judge of The Moth's 2019 Short Story Prize
Of Traxler's novel, Blood, novelist Margot Livesey wrote: Seldom have the twin obsessions of love and art been more vividly or intelligently portrayed...What an elegant, suspenseful debut.
The Toronto Sun wrote, Bloody good--a compelling and beautifully written novel.
The Boston Phoenix: Patricia Traxler's brainy thriller probes the rich ways in which this life substance intersects with love, desire, friendship, sex, and spirituality.
