Reviews

""Psychologically potent... clear and consistent... This piece of literature is highly complex and will challenge not only your understanding of words and vocabulary, but the concepts behind this writer's interpretation of the films of Michael Mann... I thoroughly enjoyed Blood in the Moonlight and believe that I'm better off from reading it.""-Manta Ray Pictures ""Psychologically potent... clear and consistent...
