I just found the Seanachai a couple of weeks ago and heard the original "Evil" stories there. Great stuff. I drive a semi and it makes the miles blur by as I laugh and think. Keep up the great stories.By: Mike D
Stumbled onto this book looking for something light to listen to on an overseas flight. I honestly didn't expect much, and was very pleasantly surprised. If you're a fan of Carl Hiaasen or Christopher Moore this is going to be right up your alley. Well plotted, well read, extremely entertaining book. Thanks very much for this exceptional gift, Patrick, and know that I'll be first in line for a stack to give as gifts when a print edition comes out.
