Monster could be an ongoing character... it could be your Dresden Files... or Anita Blake run... The character was just amazing... and the story mixed with your humor was off the charts. Being a primarly mystery reader, I am very glad that I picked this up, it had everything I could want from a story and more. P.S - if I ever win the lotto... I want movie and tv rights :) I agree… Monster could be an ongoing character… it could be your Dresden Files… or Anita Blake run… The character was just amazing… and the story mixed with your humor was off the charts.

The characters are actually more than two dimensional, while still having a whimsy to them that is very enjoyable. Based on this book and Gil's All Fright Diner, I have now purchased every book you've published and will read them within the week. Thanks for creating something awesome! I loved it.
