 PUBLISHERS WEEKLY REVIEW: Publisher's Weekly Loves Scarecrow Gods. "God speaks through odd prophets in this schizophrenic
tale...[whose]...underlying themes of faith, martyrdom, madness and
loss are richly, sometimes achingly portrayed." - Publishers Weekly. For the full review click here.
IINTERVIEWS:
Fearzone - interviewed by Maurice Broaddus - "How has your career changed since Scarecrow Gods? Or should I say since winning the Bram Stoker Award? "The
skies have opened up and rain shiny gold coins, big-breasted woman hang
from trees, and publishers ring my doorbell like nervous shoe salesmen.
Oh, sorry, that's what happened to Brian Keene."
Macabre Ink- Interviewed by David Niall Wilson - "So imagine me reading a Joy Harjo poem in the living room, then racing
downstairs to see what Tarzan was doing next, then reading Steinbeck,
only to grab the latest issue of The Defenders or The Avengers comic
books. I read Kipling like it was a bible and Howl-ed with
Ginsberg as if I was old enough to be doing what everyone else was in
the ‘70s. Heinlein groked me running until I discovered Tolkien and Brooks and then Stephen King with The Stand. As a first book to read of his, that one was a damned doozy that has stayed with me, as it has many of us, forever."
