Kirkus: Smart and sardonic, with wry echoes from classic tales (a little “Telltale Heart,” anyone?) mixed up in an inventive, winning narrative. Another dark fantasy by master of the genre Bennett (American Elsewhere, 2013, etc.), a literate swirl of religion, politics, finance and other sources of misery. “You know you are my foremost Continental operative.” Thus a suit to our protagonist, a divinologist who just happens to know her way around a conspiracy theory.
New York Times Book Review: It’s the classic teenage movie “Heathers,” with a love triangle and Anika as Veronica Sawyer, the darkly comic insider with an outsider’s perspective and a tortured outcast love interest who raises questions of social hierarchy. Read more of the NYTBR review of Anatomy of a Misfit here.
SFX Magazine: Tonally The Incorruptibles delivers a hearty scoop of Abercrombie-style grimdarkness, although layered with more magic and religion. The prose is extraordinary rich. But that never detracts from what is, ultimately, a ripping yarn. Whether you file it under Western or fantasy, The Incorruptibles is a rare thing: a clever story and an action-packed one.
Cassandra Rose Clarke’s Our Lady of the Ice, pitched as The Yiddish Policeman’s Union meets The Windup Girl, in which a female investigator tussles with a dangerous gangster just as both humans and robots agitate for independence in a domed Argentinian colony in Antarctica, to Navah Wolfe at Saga Press by Stacia Decker.
Philadelphia Inquirer: McGoran’s style is at once hard-boiled and enjoyably breezy. His character descriptions tend to the generic (“The door to one of the cabins opened and two women in their early twenties came out, one large and solid, the other small and wiry with a long braid”). But he keeps the plot and the action humming along in a way that makes Deadout an excellent beach book. To read more of the review of Deadout, click here.

This time the story revolves around Xavier del Torro, right-hand vampyre to the powerful Nightkind King and Tess Graham, a human, whose past is coming back to haunt her in a big way. When you crack open a Harrison tale, you know you are in for an amazing ride filled with rich characterization, clever world-building, and exciting adventure!
