Giveaway
I notice Graeme Flory over at Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review is giving away 5 free signed 1st edition hardback copies of The Painted Man on his website. They may well be all gone by now, but it can’t hurt to check. Graeme wrote a great review of the book on his site a few weeks ago.
Also, a review of the book came out in Black Magazine, an Australian publication covering the darker side of pop culture. I’ve pasted it below:
You know, everybody is calling it “Dark Fantasy.” When you writing it, I never remember you shooting for that genre. Did I miss something, or was that an unintentional (if accurate) branding?
I always loved reading horror books when I was growing up, authors like Stephen King and James Herbert. I definitely pull from that genre while writing the demon books, but I don’t think I had ever even heard the term “Dark Fantasy” until people started using it in connection with my work. It is apt enough, I suppose.
That is awesome Pete that a store is doing a giveaway. And I agree on the dark fantasy usage, hell when I was at the SFBC I used the term for many different types of books, and I feel it easily can be used to describe your work even if that was not your intention. I mean demons at night – it works!
