Industry Reviews
"A sharp-edged urban fantasy, drenched in blood and cynicism, tipping its hat to Sam Peckinpah, Raymond Chandler and the anti-heroes of Hong Kong cinema. Kadrey brings it off through the propulsive force of Stark's in-your-face, first-person, present-tense narration. It's a bravura performance."--San Francisco Chronicle
"Think Get Shorty meets Hellraiser."--San Francisco Chronicle
