Reviews

His enthusiasm is generous; his taste impeccable -- Karen Robinson * Crime Club, The Sunday Times * Erudite and informative these essays may be, but they are also crafted with love. Love of an art form that I share. If noir is your Driver, this is for you -- Paul Burke * Nudge * Then there's James Sallis - he's right up there, one of the best. It is quite possible that speaking of Jim Sallis in the same tone as Poe and Dostoevski is not overblowing on my part -- Harlan Ellison
