Early Reviews!

Henry, one of society's forgotten, lives in his mind as much as the old lockhouse down by the canal. Although he sees things differently than most, he knows that to survive he must make a home for himself in the world and also in his own body. At turns a distubring and hopeful tale about the aftermath of sexual abuse and being differently abled, Even in the Quiet Places is lyrical fever dream. Christopher K. Doyle's lush prose ripples through the layers of Henry's trauma and desires to find a sometimes-uneasy grace. 

―Jen Michalski, author of You'll Be Fine

Christopher K. Doyle grew up in Brunswick, Maryland, a small town nestled on the banks of the Potomac River and Blue Ridge Mountains. After receiving his MFA from the University of Baltimore, he's written about the origins of country music, an embattled elementary school principal in urban America, and the C&O Canal. He lives in Baltimore with his wife, daughter, and bluetick coonhound all in a cramped row house.
