Critics Review

Praise for Andrew Vachss’s Aftershock, the first volume in a new thriller series

“Vachss impresses again with his new dark and compelling thriller.” —Largehearted Boy.com

“Vachss explores the horrific intersection of victims and victimizers, evil and avengers. The setting has moved from urban to small-town, but the eternal conflict is as it ever was.” —Booklist

“Razor-edged and compulsively readable; the pages fly by.” —Library Journal


Acclaim for Andrew Vachss

“The baddest noir stylist of them all.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Vachss’s stories … burn with righteous rage and transfer a degree of that rage to the reader.” —The Washington Post Book World

“Vachss’s reverence for storytelling is evident in the blunt beauty of his language.” —Chicago Sun-Times

“Vachss’s style is personal, laconic, shaded, and, of course, creepy. If you like hard-boiled narrative, this is a read for you.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review
