Referential Review
"While touching upon the Urban Fantasy genre, The Devil’s Jukebox finds its own songs to sing. This is not a tale of seductive vampires, shirtless werewolves, or sexy demon hunters. There’s love, lust, and blood, but that’s not where the story lies.
Marcel Feldmar seems to somehow combine a more subtle dark and poetic romanticism—similar to Anne Rice’s Interview With The Vampire or The Vampire Lestat—with a well mixed batch of musical references that would make Nick Hornsby want to hit his favorite record store, and a twist of pop cultural phrase and vision that makes me think of Douglas Coupland, if he wrote ghost stories, or Richard Kadrey, if he wrote, well, happier, lighter ghost stories.
The story crashes like the dark wave of the late 80’s and the now wave of new inspirations. The Devil’s Jukebox is a work of paranormal pop fiction that leads you, on a trail of cocktails and cigarette smoke, across highways and through cities, on a quest to save the once mighty Muses from fading away into obscurity."
