Praise for Nick Mamatas "Nick Mamatas continues his reign as the
sharpest, funniest, most insightful and political purveyor of
post-pulp pleasures going. He is the People's Commissar of
Awesome."
--China Mi�ville, bestselling author of The City & the City
"Mamatas is a powerfully acerbic writer, both in fiction and
online. His acid wit is infamous." --Cory Doctorow, bestselling
author of Walkaway Gonzo grindhouse fantasy--Tales from the Crypt
meets Hercules in New York with occasional visits from St
Augustine. The blood-spattered epic the current year deserves.
--Max Gladstone, author of the Craft Sequence on Sabbath "Dark and
hilarious. . .I am Providence is that
murder-mystery-in-a-writers-convention you didn't even know you
wanted, but (like the human skin-bound book which propels the plot)
you really must buy." --Lavie Tidhar, author of Osama and The
Violent Century "If you're looking for a wacky summer beach read
with a dose of horror and you love Lovecraft, I Am Providence will
satisfy your abyss of cravings--with some hilarious and pointed
jabs at Lovecraftian fandom." --Fangoria "Mamatas knows his subject
inside and out, and that makes I Am Providence all the more
cutting. He's a fan himself, as well as a skeptic, and he turns his
considerable authority and satirical skill toward skewering the
subculture that's grown up around Lovecraft over the past century.
. . . I Am Providence is pointed social commentary wrapped in a
bilious in-joke--but one that's more than worth getting in on."
--Jason Heller, NPR
