Review

"One of the most invigorating reading experiences I've had in a while ... an up-and-comer who's worthy of the hype - Tim Waggoner is well on his way to being proclaimed horror fiction's leading surrealist." - Jack Loyd, Cemetery Dance magazine. "It's hard to say if this singular novel, which boasts a wicked sense of humor to round off the horror, should be eligible for an Edgar Award or a Bram Stoker or both." - Elliot Swanson, Booklist, on Nekropolis. "Waggoner is in possession of a talent that should be taken seriously, and I can't wait for his next book." - Johnny Butane, The Horror Channel
