A fast, fun little roller-coaster of a story . . . macabre and
thoroughly entertaining
*JIM BUTCHER, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dresden
Files*
Devotees of edgy urban fantasists Laurell K. Hamilton and Jim
Butcher will eat this one up
*ROMANTIC TIMES*
Great fun . . . I really enjoyed and would recommend to anyone that
likes urban fantasy. There is a hard edge to the book, which I
think enhances the chaos and mayhem
*FANTASY BOOK REVIEW*
Simon Green is known for bringing impossible beings and worlds to
life with his words. His most fantastic series, Nightside, kicks
off with a book that delves readers deeper into their imagination
than they ever thought possible
*THE EXAMINER*
A fast-paced, macabre excursion into an entertaining world of
twisted heroes and rampant weirdness
*LOCUS*
Simon R. Green's Nightside series is a delight from beginning to
end. . . The Nightside books are, unashamedly, all about having a
bloody good time reading works that have more than their fair share
of "ics." Fantastic, comedic, sarcastic, caustic and heroic are
just a few that spring to mind
*SF SITE*
So much fun it's practically irresistible . . . the start of a
series of books that could come to dominate our beach reading for
many a summer to come
*CEMETERY DANCE*
Nobody delivers sharp, crackling dialogue better than Green, and no
one whisks readers away to more terrifying adventures or more
bewildering locales
*BLACK GATE*
A grand tour . . . the set-up and the writing are good enough to
make me hope for more in the series in the near future
*SCIENCE FICTION CHRONICLE*
A fun read, lots of action and some pretty wild character
*BOOKS ‘N’ BYTES*
