Critics Review
Praise for TOMORROW, THE KILLING:“With THE STRAIGHT RAZOR CURE, Polansky pushed the envelope of modern fantasy. With TOMORROW, THE KILLING, he tears through the envelope and pushes for horizons yet unseen.” - Myke Cole, author of Control Point
In TOMORROW, THE KILLING, Polansky shows us he is no one-book wonder… If you haven’t read Polansky yet, you must remedy this ASAP. He writes gripping, addictive stories with a grim eloquence…Very, very highly recommended. Polansky is definitely among my new favourite authors. Essential reading. - civilian-reader.blogspot.comPolansky is a deft, sensitive dramatist with the blackest sense of humor–and LOW TOWN is brilliant proof. Polansky has managed to craft an assured, roaring, and rollicking hybrid, a cross-genre free-for-all that relishes its tropes while spitting out their bones. And he does it all while spinning one hell of a gripping mystery. Much like its grim, perversely charismatic antihero, LOW TOWN stakes a narrow turf–then completely owns every inch of it. - The AV Club on THE STRAIGHT RAZOR CUREImagine that Quentin Tarantino, possessed by the ghost of J.R.R. Tolkien, did an eight-ball of cocaine and wrote a novel to be read by the late Johnny Cash. LOW TOWN is something like that, only better. - 52 Book Reviews on THE STRAIGHT RAZOR CUREAbout The Author
