"Wondrous...dark enchantment."
--New York Times Book Review
"Terrific suspense...equal parts morality tale and page-turning
thriller."

poison, and often physically destroy those who fall under its
sway."
--Philadelphia Inquirer
"Lansdale creates many colorful and vivid characters. . . . The
Bottoms tells a great yarn of a vanished place and time."
--Bookreporter
