‘Reading Of Saints and Shadows again, I was amazed how many elements now familiar in the vampire and thriller genres appeared in Saints first. Golden’s imagination and expert plotting wove these elements into a startlingly original book, as exciting to read now as it was when it first appeared on the rack’
Charlaine Harris
‘Christopher Golden has reinvented the vampire myth into non-stop action, suspense and fascinating dark fantasy. [He’s] an imaginative and prodigious talent who never lets genre conventions hold him back’
Douglas Clegg, author of the Vampirycon series
‘Filled with tension, breathtaking action . . . and a convincing depiction of worlds existing unseen within our own’
Science Fiction Chronicle
‘Harrowing, humorous, overflowing with character and plot contortions, abundantly entertaining . . . a portent of great things to come’
Douglas E. Winter, Cemetery Dance
‘Golden combines quiet, dark subtle mood with Super-Giant monster action. Sort of M. R. James meets Godzilla’
Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy
‘A breathtaking story that succeeds in marrying gore and romance, sex and sentiment. A brilliant epic’
Dark News (Paris)
‘The most refreshing books in the vampire genre since Anne Rice wrote Interview with a Vampire, [Golden’s novels] are completely in a class by themselves’
Pathway to Darkness
‘Passionate . . . excellent . . . and a surprise explanation for vampires. Brilliant’
Lit News Online
‘Wildly entertaining . . . like mixing Laurell K. Hamilton with the dark ambivalence of an H. P. Lovecraft story. The pacing is always pedal-to-the-floor, the main characters are larger than life and the demons and other assorted monstrosities give Lovecraft’s Cthulu mythos a run for their money’
