“Three Years in Wonderland is one of the most important contributions ever made to Disney parks history. Meticulously researched, it is a revolutionary book which sheds new light on the early days of Disneyland. Written with passion and talent, Todd Pierce’s magnum opus is a fascinating read for Disney enthusiasts and history buffs alike.“—Didier Ghez, author of Disneyland Paris: From Sketch to Reality; Disney’s Grand Tour: Walt and Roy’s European Vacation, Summer 1935; and They Drew as They Pleased: The Hidden Art of Disney’s Golden Age
Read More“Daniel Polansky is one of my favorite new writers. Again and again, he manages to reinvent and invent well-worn genres. Imagine a mash-up of Trainspotting and Harry Potter and you might end up with something as wonderfully gonzo as A City Dreaming. M is a gloriously under-achieving, couch-surfing mage for the Instagram generation.”—David S. Goyer, co-writer of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy and Man of Steel
Read More“All three stories sustain noir conventions: smart, smart-aleck male main characters; women menaced by corrupt and powerful men; daunting weather; a staccato prose style; and an existential attitude. The stories end, mostly, happily (at least for the survivors), and ultimately hope is affirmed despite depressing meteorological conditions. Overall, three engaging and satisfying adventures. A worthy addition to the shelf, between “noir” and now.“―Kirkus Reviews

Read More“Scott Shepherd should be on every reader’s radar in 2013. First with the serialized novel The Seventh Day, and followed by Descending Son, his gifts for storytelling will provide steady rewards. Drawing on diverse influences that range from horror and fantasy to classic noir, Shepherd’s voice is decidedly unique, and while his storytelling may absorb the focus, with his cinematic gifts for action and cliffhangers, it is in his understanding of the human heart that his writing steps forward and shines.“—Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of The Prophet

“An auspicious, gut-wrenching, wonderful debut.”—Kirkus, starred review

Now more than ever.”―Patrisse Cullors, co-founder Black Lives Matter and New York Times bestselling author of When They Call You a Terrorist
