Tim Cummings's Reviews > Alice the Cat

Hello Goodreaders. Happy Thanksgiving. Today, Alice the Cat is six months out from its release date: May 23, 2023. I'm so thrilled. I just wanted to say hello and introduce this book to you. Pre-order links are available via my website, www.timcummings.ink

The hardcover Special Edition is gorgeous--definitely Pre-order that one!

And watch this space for an upcoming giveaway. :-)

Very happy to share some advance praise:

“Tim Cummings manages to couple the writing of an angel with the imagination of the devil. Alice the Cat slinked inside me, furtively, magnificently. My heart ached for Tess—so much loss. My heart thundered for her too—so much sass and courage. My skin crawled with hers. Sometimes I wanted to run screaming. I could not stop reading. This book is nothing short of bliss. Meow!”
– Caroline Thompson, writer of The Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands

“Alice the Cat is a vibrant, emotional tale filled with love, friendship, and mysteries. A triumphant story of survival in the face of grief and loss.”
– Jeff Zentner, award-winning author of The Serpent King and In The Wild Light.

"Tim Cummings is a magician. He’s spun the most delicious spell with Alice the Cat —this book thrums with anger and grief, yet is ultimately one of the most charming, hilarious, heart-filled, life-giving novels I’ve ever read. Tess is a narrator for the ages—I adore her playful use of language and her fierce, loving spirit. I love everything about this book—all its sentences, all its characters—with every last inch of my heart."
– Gayle Brandeis, author of My Life with the Lincolns and The Art of Misdiagnosis

“Tim Cummings’ book is transcendent. Filled with ghosts, haunted places, and tormented souls, this book follows the adventures of Tess as she becomes obsessed with saving her cat. Beautiful, tender, and powerful, Alice the Cat will grip you with its unexpected splendor.”
– Mireya S. Vela, author of Vestiges of Courage

“Alice the Cat masterfully unites elements of ghost stories, haunted houses, lost cats, Wonderland, psychic mediums, the spirit of Halloween, Ouija boards, the occult, and a girl’s journey into the twilight of adulthood while grieving the death of her mother. Cummings has created a wonder of a book with breakout doses of heart and humor, destined to be a contemporary classic.”
– Nathan Elias, author of The Reincarnations and Coil Quake Rift

More soon.

Hug,
Tim
