The Fourth Whore received the 2020 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel

Kenzi Brooks watched The Scribble Man collect her brother’s soul after a hit and run when she was seven. He gave her a present that day—a lucky rabbit’s foot. Sixteen years later, she no longer believes in The Scribble Man, she believes in survival and does what she has to in the slums of Detroit. When thugs kill her mother and beat Kenzi to near death, she accidentally releases Lilith from her prison within the time-worn keychain.

And Hell hath no fury…

Lilith is out for revenge. Revenge against God, Sariel (Angel of Death and Kenzi’s Scribble Man), and all of mankind for relegating her to nothing more than a demoness for refusing to submit to her husband. She’s put together an apocalyptic plan to destroy everyone who has forsaken her. Forget the Four Horsemen, Lilith is assembling the Four Whores.

Will Kenzi rise against her to save the world and The Scribble Man or will she become The Fourth Whore?

Praise for EV Knight

“…a soul-sucking mind-bender of a debut. A cutting and explosive feminist text of revenge and redemption, with blood spilled on every page.” —Lee Murray, two-time Bram Stoker nominee, author Into the Mist

“Lilith is back with a vengeance and she’s assembling the girl gang to end all girl gangs—literally—to kick-start the Apocalypse.” —Michelle Renee Lane, author Invisible Chains

“…a perverse punch directly to the corrupt groin of patriarchy. Extreme and extremely ambitious, Knight’s first novel is heretically horrifying and satisfyingly sick on every page.…An unforgettably twisted and powerfully driven novel that brings extreme horror to gender politics in a devastating way.”—Michael Arnzen, Bram Stoker Award-winning author Grave Markings

“…a fiery world where myth and reality combine, singeing our curiosity with hellfire and inviting us to dive deeper into darkness.…the revelations lure you in and refuse to let your soul float away without a price.—Sara Tantlinger, Bram Stoker Award-winning author The Devil’s Dreamland

“THE FOURTH WHORE by EV Knight is an ambitious debut with vivid prose and intriguing characters. Not only is this story a mix of the horror and fantasy genres, it’s also heavy on feminism, revenge, mythology, theology, occultism, sex, and violence. It had my attention right out of the gate! It’s in your face shocking in a few scenes, so be warned of graphic content.”-@shereadswithcats

It was a wild ride from beginning to end, and I found myself being drawn back to it every time I had to put the book down to deal with ‘real-life stuff’. I have a feeling this one is going to put me into a book slump – it’s totally unlike anything I’ve read, and I wish there were more.”-@holo.reader

“This book is perfection on EVERY DARK LEVEL right down to its spirited ending! Although this story executes all its intended targets I certainly wouldn’t mind this author surprising us in the future with a prequel or a side story about the amazing characters created within; Especially Sariel and Enoch’s journey through eternity together. What a Wicked Treat!! I am blown away! This woman is on fire and I will rave about this book for awhile!! BUY IT NOW. “ –@kamis_korner

“The Fourth Whore was like American Gods meets Preacher meets the feminist agenda. If that intrigues you then give it a whirl.”-@readswithdogs

“I loved the biblical format of the book and the twists EV Knight inserted into one of the most popular stories ever written. I definitely got some SANDMAN vibes throughout, so if that’s a graphic novel you enjoyed then I would highly recommend checking this out.” –@marcyreads

“Overall, I enjoyed the story, most of the characters and Knights style of writing, I’m down for reading another E.V. Knight sooner, rather than later. The fourth whore is a feminist fueled adventure filled with blood, sex, and an oncoming apocalypse. I had a blast and I think you will too.” –@steelrainreviews
