Shadowhawk reviews another Angry Robot 2012 debut title, this one about the Wild West and Vampires and other supernaturals.
“Stunning, mind-blowing, amazing, fan-frikkin-tastic. None of those word can convey just how much I liked The Dead of Winter. I can’t even tell, although I know better, that this novel is a debut and not an author’s best at the peak of his career.” ~The Founding Fields
Bane of Kings writes a review for the second installment in the superb urban fantasy pulp Collector series, entitled The Wrong Goodbye written by Chris F. Holm and published by Angry Robot Books. It’s out in October 2012 in the UK, but it is released today in the US.
“An explosive follow up to Dead Harvest, two out of two for Chris F. Holm, urban fantasy fans will love this. Sam Thorton is a protagonist to be reckoned with.” ~The Founding Fields
