Praise for Audition for the Fox 

​Literary Hub’s Most Anticipated Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror Books for the Rest of 2025

“A wondrous, time-traveling, shape-shifting fable that was just what I needed to read. Cahill has a trickster’s gift for storytelling and a poet's sorcerous attunement to language.”
― Karen Russell, Pulitzer Prize Finalist and author of The Antidote

“Cahill combines his modern-day folktale with vividly imaginative worldbuilding.”
― Los Angeles Book Review

“A triumph, a candle-bright and timely pleasure lit up by gorgeous prose and an exuberant love for the world and for hope.”
― Cassandra Khaw, author of The All-Consuming World

“Highly recommended for readers who enjoy a good time-travel story that explores all the paradoxes and anyone who loves Nghi Vo’s “Singing Hills Cycle.”
― Library Journal

“Written in the style of a folktale and interspersed with legends told by characters within the story, Audition for the Fox is an exquisite tribute to ordinary people who act because ‘someone has to do something, and if [they're] not that someone, nothing will happen and nothing will get better.’”
― Shelf Awareness

“Nimble, sly, and strange as the title character, Cahill has wrought a fine filigree of a tale―with a bold, uncompromising heart.”
― Catherynne Valente, New York Times bestselling author of The Fairyland Series
