Highly recommended for readers of supernatural action and horror . and fans of more general action stories." -- Library Journal "Both surreal and grounded in harsh reality, the novel is ambitiously plotted and powerfully written." -- Booklist "Irreverent and entertaining. It's a wild high-speed ride." -- Shelf Awareness "A taut and gritty adventure thriller with a supernatural element.

Adam Mansbach succeeds, brilliantly." -- Boston Globe "One of the most ambitious, insightful, and daring writers of our generation.
