at last!


It's taken a few days, but there's now a page on the Screaming Dreams Press website where orders can be placed for The Dragons of Manhattan:

 Also, there's a good review of the book by Charles Tan (fresh from his good review of Clockwork Phoenix!) on his Bibliophile Stalker blog: http://charles-tan.blogspot.com/2008/04/book-review-dragons-of-manhattan-by.html. Here's a Readers Digest condensation (i.e., all gratuitous sex and violence excised) of the full review:

I was immediately hooked and this is one of those books that I couldn't put down. . . . Originally an online serial, it's understandable why this novel was written to be so compelling--and Grant succeeds with that goal. . . . Grant's writing and technique is so upbeat that it creates a story that's one part fantasy and one part science fiction. And then before the second part ends, one realizes that this is definitely a John Grant book. . . . If you want something accessible, funny, smart, or simply interesting, you can't go wrong with The Dragons of Manhattan.

I've been reading a few scroll pages a day.

This world -- it was a long time ago, wasn't it.

I remember those bars down there, when..

Shoot, I remember the Baby Doll Lounge, one of the last non-franchise strip clubs. I made some friends there among the dancers.

It was a long time ago, though not that many years, not really not even a half decade. Though really the demarcation is 9/11, and we knew it, even in those first moments.

Love, C
