"Expertly paced and with equal amounts of suspense and melodrama, Dixon’s story captures the pulse of criminal life and the thrum of desire. This sizzles." 

- Publishers Weekly

​

"One can easily imagine that cloud of pine and diesel wafting up from the pages of Dixon’s gritty neo-Western...Dixon’s wealth of knowledge about both legal and illegal farming practices and her feel for the texture of rural queer living infuse this sweaty, smoky thriller with vibrant realism."

- Kirkus 

​

"Delgado Dixon's second novel is a lush tale of revenge, crime, love, and weed....Well told from all three main characters' points of view, with turns of suspense, humor, and sensuality, this is engrossing."

- Booklist

​

"Trust a lesbian to tell you everything you need to know about sex, cows, and weed. Sourland, which Delgado Dixon dedicates to “the farm,” is full of sinewy desire, deception, shootouts and chases, and characters you might meet in a Delillo novel. Atmospheric, with an eye for people, it reads like no other crime novel."

- Electric Lit

​

"Deliciously written and compulsively readable, 

Sourland captures the dying days of a band of outlaws ensnared in a web of pleasure, labor, and loss."

- Carmen Maria Machado, author of In The Dream House and Her Body and Other Parties

​​

"I am in love with this story, the way one hillside can be a world unto itself, imperiled and lasting."

- Jackie Polzin, author of Brood

​

"In prose that is as lush as the dankest harvest, Sourland

is a bittersweet symphony of sweat, smoke, and dirt."

- Elizabeth Gonzalez James, author of The Bullet Swallower

​​

"A mind-blowing, page-turning, utterly original literary thriller."

- Mary Pauline Lowry, author of Last Night Was Killer

and The Roxy Letters
