Critical Praise

★★★★★
“Make no mistake, this is a great and triumphant tale. Dark and soulful; haunting and hopeful. Epic world building, beautiful prose, and the uncertainty of what moves and screams beyond walls of protection. It's the kind of book and author that makes a darning, masterful, and compelling bid for literary greatness!”
—Seattle Book Review



★★★★

“Dark atmosphere with Pan's Labyrinth vibes. […] The description is right: there is a noticeable similarity with the art of Hayao Miyazaki.”

★★★★★
“Master storyteller T.H. Lehnen’s debut novel […] Fog & Fireflies is a truly unique and enjoyable piece of fantasy fiction.”

—San Francisco Book Review



★★★★★
“Lehnen takes world-building to a new level […] The world of Lehnen’s creation is a dark, brooding character that taunts, invades, and can abduct the adults of the villages. The settings and environment are an essential character in the story."
—Portland Book Review



★★★★★
“The novel overflows with creativity and offers some of the most unique world-building you'll find in a genre that can feel like everything has already been done. Lehnen is a masterful storyteller, and his realm of fear and fireflies practically glitters on the page.”
