Cats of the Pacific Northwest
“Creepy and disquieting, CATS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST is written with a sinister lyricism that seeps the story in a compelling atmosphere of horror and magic. I won’t be forgetting this one soon!”
—Cassie Daley – illustrator, writer, & podcaster at Let’s Get Galactic
“Thanks to Donley, I’ll have to look at my cats with a raised eyebrow from now on. Cats of the Pacific Northwest is unnerving and has visuals that will creep up your brain stem in the dead of night.”
—Shane Hawk – author of Anoka
“This dark, contemporary fairy tale weaves together Hansel and Gretel, The Blair Witch Project, and Get Out, and to create an unsettling, moving, and haunting story.”
—Richard Thomas – author of Disintegration, and Breaker (Thriller nominee)
