Review: “A Violent Masterpiece” by Jordan Harper

You know you’re in for something special when you pick up a Jordan Harper novel. And by “something special,” I mean that his books are reliably dark, unique, precise gems of crime fiction. These are not the kinds of books you rush through. No, you savor every word and phrase, turning it over in your mind while shaking your head with a kind of awe or letting your jaw drop in either wonder or jealou

SONG OF KALI paints a vivid portrait of Calcutta circa mid-1980s, and the horror flows naturally from there. What a setting! This reading, I was a little put off by the long stretches of storytelling from ancillary characters, relegating the main cha ...more

Quotes by Jason Bovberg (?)

“Look,” Irene says, trying her best to remain calm even though Rachel can tell that she wants to sprint out of the room. “I’ll say it again. I say we get in one of these cars and take our chances, find a safe place away from all this. Think of all the bodies in this hospital! We have to go to a place that’s not so populated and barricade ourselves, right?”
― Jason Bovberg, Blood Red

“Is this—is this something—alien?” she says into the window. “Something from … from outer space?”

“Look, I don’t know what the hell is going on with them,” says Rachel, “but from what we’ve seen, they’re not on their feet or anything. It’s not like they’re zombies, eating brains or whatever.”
