“A fast-paced, hallucinogenic fairy tale…delivering likable protagonists, exotic beasties, and scoundrels whom we long to see at table with their just desserts.” —Christopher Buehlman, author of The Blacktongue Thief
“Slewfoot takes hold of the maxim ‘sympathy for the devil’ and yanks hard on that literary taproot, unearthing a far more elemental and complex truth. Demon or no, evil or not, the mighty stag Slewfoot deserves our love and devotion. All hail Brom, all hail Slewfoot!” —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of The Remaking

“This is a tale that will unsettle readers as they vacillate between fear and celebration. … For all who enjoy historical horror with healthy doses of dark fantasy, witchcraft, and vengeance.” —Booklist Reviews

“Slewfoot is an extraordinary, harrowing tale about a remarkable friendship and a demon trying to find his soul. It’s a journey of witchcraft, misogyny, paganism, and piety. It left me spellbound and my tortured black heart devoured this story looking for more.” —Cemetery Dance
