DISPOSAL Reviews: New-n-Old

As the publication date of DISPOSAL grows nearer and nearer...ever nearer...oh so nearer...I thought this seemed like an appropriate time to bug the crap out of you about ordering it if you haven't already, by sharing some delightful reviews.

Such as this brand new one from The Horror Library. Five stars outta five. "All in all, Strand has put together one hell of a page-turner here. It’s the kind of book that you pick up, rip through, then want to read everything else the author has ever written."

Or this one from Literary Strange Digest: "The prose flows with ease and the plot takes many twists, reinventing itself every few pages. The overwhelming strength of the book is Strand's creativity and playfulness with the story. If this book does not thrill you or make you laugh at least once, you have no business reading horror fiction."

Meanwhile, since we can look forward to a bunch of reruns if the WGA strike goes on too long, here are some reruns of previous attempts to coerce you into buying a copy:

"Quickly spirals into the sort of frenzied chaos that marks Strand at his best. The events unfold with the same sort of insane speed that you get from watching Sam Raimi's EVIL DEAD movies."

--The Dark Library, http://www.bloodlettingbooks.com/dibyjestrbyj.html

"A dark comedy so smartly funny that laughing through bodily mutilation is your only option. The author knows how to work the reader, never jolting you out of your suspension of disbelief, no matter how outrageous and over the top the plot gets."

--SF Reader http://www.sfreader.com/read_review.asp?book=1086

"DISPOSAL is sure to please with Strand's trademark unsettling brand of humor. His writing is rough and disturbing and this book is unquestionably a “no-holds-barred” roller-coaster ride that is sure to cross a few lines, but I’m here to tell you that it is well worth the price of admission

--Horror World http://www.horrorworld.org/march_2007.htm

"In DISPOSAL, Jeff Strand proves once again why he's the king of comedic horror, with a story so unrelentingly surprising and unflinchingly nasty that there's something entertaining to be found on every single page. This is a funny -- painfully funny -- read, dripping with pitch black humor and lots of light literary wit."

-- Michael Arnzen, three time Bram Stoker Award winner and author of LICKER and PLAY DEAD

The first two reviews also have nice things to say about the TEN forewords, from famous authors you like better than me. (Also J.A. Konrath.)

So don't be a dorky nerdy geek. Make sure you're one of the cool people who get DISPOSAL right away, before you overhear somebody give away the best part while standing in line at the bagel shop.

You can order your copy from The Horror Mall, right here:

(Note that the ETA of December 15 is a conservative estimate. DISPOSAL is scheduled to ship to online booksellers within the week.)
