PRAISE FOR 'DRAWING DEAD'
"Drawing Dead is a brilliant noir from one of Australia's most exciting new novelists."
-- Adrian McKinty, author of 'Dead I Well May Be", "Fifty Grand", "Falling Glass" and "The Cold, Cold Ground"
A terrifying portrait of a man destined to lose, Drawing Dead is at once
stark and lyrical, with the ghosts of Jim Thompson and James M. Cain
whispering all over the pages. Keep an eye out for JJ Deceglie, a stunning
new voice in crime fiction.
--Jon Bassoff, publisher of New Pulp Press
“An impressive, memorable voice, with dark echoes of Bruen and Sallis and Ellroy. You won’t soon forget this book.”
--Charles Ardai, publisher of Hard Case Crime
"Drawing Dead is classic pulp with some generous helpings of despair, graphic sex, and dark humor, a tight neo-noir that’s not afraid to go full-dark when it counts. If that sounds like your piping hot cuppa, dear reader, go and get yourself some."
--Nerd of Noir, Spinetingler
