New Review: In 'Hellbender', Is He Speeding Away from Trouble? Or Toward It?

Hellbender lives up to its billing and that’s no easy feat, considering how the last paragraph on the back cover reads: “Jason Jack Miller’s Murder Ballads and Whiskey series is a unique blend of dark fiction, urban fantasy and horror. It’s Appalachian Gothic, Alt.Magical.Realism, Hillbilly Horror. It’s American Gods meets Justified. True Blood with witches. It’s Johnny Cash with a fistful of copperheads singing the devil right back to hell.”

New Review of THE DEVIL AND PRESTON BLACK!

"...I don’t know if the author intended this or not, but I think the complexity of the novel can be deepened considerably if we consider the possibility that more than one devil incarnate and more than one Faustian bargain.  I think that Preston, while the 'victim' of one bargain was the perpetrator of another.  It jibes with the repeated idea that 'a piece of the devil is inside me'"
