Here’s all the ARC reviews of Wolfsangel in one place. Please don’t think I’m going on an ego trip, it’s just that it’s convenient for me to have a link that I can direct bloggers to. I hope this will encourage them to review the book.
I’ve sent this direct to several bloggers but thought it might be convenient just to have the link here.
Advanced review copies of Wolfsangel were sent out to leading authors just before Christmas and I’m really pleased to say the response has been excellent so far.
Adam Roberts, author of Yellow Blue Tibia and also a Guardian book critic said of the book:
‘A classic. Brilliant stuff. This is not a run of the mill Fantasy text; nor, really, is it even a riff upon those worn-smooth tropes. It is something genuinely strange, eerie, evocative.’

Joe Abercrombie, bestselling fantasy author, writing on his blog, said Wolfsangel
‘manages to evoke the weirdness of the viking mindset to the point where even the normal people feel a lot more alien than most denizens of epic fantasy. It’s savage, dark, strange and unpredictable, which are all good things in my book.’

Mike Carey – author of the bestselling Lucifer graphic novels and much good stuff besides has provided a quote for the cover, saying
‘A unique take on the werewolf mythos, on the Norse pantheon and on magic itself. An enthralling, mesmerising book.’
Stephen Deas, author of The Adamantine Palace has said
‘Sent chills down my spine. Dark, bloody and dangerous, you can almost smell the sweat and iron coming off the pages. There are a lot of werewolves coming our way this year, but Wolfsangel could well be the standard by which they will be judged for some years to come’
Detective fiction bestseller RJ Ellory said:
‘A spellbinding and unputdownable fusion of historical and fantasy fiction that is sure to enchant devotees of both genres.’
So that’s the news so far. I’m available for interview to answer questions on the book/me/writing in general. It’s due for publication on May 20, I’m appearing on panels at Eastercon and, I hope, putting in an appearance at Horrorcon (to be finalised).
