Crooken Little Vein - back cover quotes

Writing by Chris on Sunday, 25 of February , 2007 at 6:48 pm

Warren Ellis posted some quotes from the back cover of his new book on his mailing list. I really want this book now.

The back-cover quotes so far:

“Crooked Little Vein is perfect Warren Ellis — ruthless,
unforgiving, and oddly beautifully bitterly human. Plus
it’s packed with all my favorite references: porn theories,
Alan Alda, seventy-one year old serial killers, and an
alternate U.S. Constitution bound in alien skin. Get
ready for a wonderful kick in the teeth that’ll make you
lick your bloody lip with masochistic joy.”

— Brad Meltzer, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Fate

“I think this book ate my soul. Warren Ellis has mapped
out the psycho-sexual underbelly of America with a
foreigner’s clarity and a lunatic’s glee. Funny, inventive
and blithely appalling, this book is Dante on paint fumes.”

— Joss Whedon, creator, writer and director of the Buffy
the Vampire Slayer series

“Warren Ellis writes like a bi-polar Raymond Chandler.
Crooked Little Vein injects at least two welcome elements
into the tired, clogged mystery field: a a little death and a
little life. It’s also funny enough to make you shit standing.”

- Kinky Friedman, author of Ten Little New Yorkers

Brad and Joss are very kind.  Kinky Friedman I do not know,
but I seriously owe that man a Montecristo now.

You’ll all be eBaying my skin flakes and bodily fluids before
you know it. And becoming rich from it. Rich like astronauts.
And you will drive across continents while wearing nappies/diapers
just to see my face, also like astronauts.
