Daughter of Hounds

Daughter of Hounds is a 2007 novel by Caitlin R. Kiernan that explores the subterranean world of New England ghouls, as envisioned in H. P. Lovecraft's "Pickman's Model". Published by Penguin-Putnam, it includes characters first encountered in Kiernan's Threshold (2001) and Low Red Moon (2003).
Daughter of Hounds tells the stories of Soldier, a changeling woman who works as enforcer for the ghoul warrens of Providence, Rhode Island, and Emmie Silvey, a strange yellow-eyed girl living on the city's surface. Each has a secret origin that binds their fates together, and a special power that makes them a target of subterranean forces.
