Critics Review

“Detective fiction is about getting to the bottom of things; weird fiction is about the abyss in its bottomless depths. “Hobtown Mystery Stories,” in their layered and satisfying surrealism, are about both…. utterly weird, dreamlike.” —New York Times Book Review

“There is something immensely pleasurable about reading the book sequenced one way and then another… There is an earnestness to this series in the sense of affection these characters feel for each other which provides a degree of coziness to contrast the otherworldly strangeness of the dangers presented… Character moments truly sing in this series… The series gets bigger and deeper the more of it you read.” - The Comics Journal
