Mort Castle recommends
This Rancid Mill (2023)
(Alex Damage, book 1)
Kyle Decker
"Alex Damage is, in his own words, 'a private investigator, of sorts...' Which is like saying Gnossos Pappadopoulis, the protagonist of Farina's 1960s classic Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me is a college student. Gnossos unforgettably wended his picaresque way through a crazed 1960s psychedelic landscape. Alex Damage lives in--and wryly observes and obsessively comments on--our own not psychedelic but no less crazy times. What Been Down So Long was to my generation, Kyle Decker's This Rancid Mill will become to contemporary readers. It's smart, it's funny, it's memorable. It's not wrong to call this a brilliant novel."
Terror Peak (2022)
Edward J McFadden III
"Terror Peak gives us extreme sports, extreme weather, extreme geography, and an extreme monster. Toss in Chance, a genuinely extreme character whose name is not without symbolism, and you've got a book you can judge by the cover: Terror Peak is a terrific horror thriller."
The Nirvana Effect (2021)
Brian Pinkerton
"Quite simply, one of the best thriller guys you can find. No nonsense, no bloat, just thrill."
