::PRAISE::

Poorly summed up, one could call it a cranky vampire road trip. Under the “ff you like…” category, I’d place it with early Christopher Moore or some of A. Lee Martinez’ better work. It’s honestly super-good in a way where you’ll ask yourself, “Why hasn’t a major publishing house picked this up?”
-Robert Capra, Diehard GameFAN

I can easily feel the vampire’s voice narrating this whole story, as he’s driving down the I-90 on his roadtrip. He’s snarky and sarcastic, and he’s a little bored.
-Liz Ziolkowski, Fictional Candy

The Mosquito Song or, more specifically, its vampire narrator is a solid antidote to Twilight overkill. The narrator strikes a tone I’ve never heard in a vampire story before. His acerbic, cynical voice is already a reprieve from all that vampiric self-loathing and earnesty… but this vampire is also playful. He flirts his way across the Midwest, more bemused than outraged by his attackers, cheerfully amoral and yet never atavistic.
-Connor Coyne, author of Hungry Rats
