Blackgate Magazine raves: “Lindberg is the real deal, a gifted writer with a strong command of language, and a soaring talent that stretches beyond the verbal: he illustrates his novel with his own wild and weird and excellent drawings. If you like action-packed dark fantasy with bizarre settings, an original premise and clever twist, then add this one to your Must Read List.” – Joe Bonadonna, Black Gate contributor and Author, 2015

Beowulf comes to mind both for its epic quality and bloody action….the pace is nearly breathless…””…makes the majority of current popular fantasy fiction read like recipes…” Janine Stinson 2011
