No One Left to Come Looking for You (2022)
Sam Lipsyte
"Another fantastic gem from Sam Lipsyte with his numerous gifts on full display - comedy, heart and heartbreak, effortless prose, wonderful dialogue- all wrapped up in an East Village whodunnit, circa 1993, which gives the novel an aura of the elegiac, a glimpse into the cultural past that also serves as a mirror - or a warning - to the present."

Rovers (2021)
Richard Lange
"Lange has done it again! Another tour de force! Another gripping page-turner! Shifting points-of-view, beautiful language, drama, action, fantasy, pathos--Rovers has it all! And it makes me feel greedy like a vampire (or a rover): I want and need another Richard Lange book right away! Well, I have to be patient and rational: I have his other books to reread and this one, too, which is an utter triumph and delight."

Alice Fantastic (2009)
Maggie Estep
"Maggie Estep is the bastard daughter of Raymond Chandler and Anais Nin. Her prose is hard-boiled and sexy; she turns a good phrase and shows some leg."
