J.B. Jackson liked Shepherd's review of Shagduk (De re dordica #1): "I think I’m one of a few dozen people who has read this book. It’s one part gonzo, one part View Askew, one part Last Picture show and one part dark fantasy mixed into a luscious, off the wall concoction. I was amazed how seldom the little demons act" Read more of this review »
