Description: Praise for Pitch Dark " Pitch Dark is a propulsive, layered, and brutal read. Sidor reminds you of the terrible violence of which we are capable and the heart that must be called upon to endure. A reader can''t hope for more than to discover a writer possessed of both true talent and true passion. Discover Steven Sidor." -Michael Koryta, author of The Cypress House " Pitch Dark is as relentlessly suspenseful as any crime novel you've ever read, but at the same time it's as scary as the best horror stories. Once you've met the walking nightmare who calls himself the Pitch-and his devoted henchmen-you will never forget them (try as you might). A harrowing, nonstop flight into the very heart of darkness, Pitch Dark kept me up half the night-and when I did go to bed, I left the lights on." Robert Masello, author of The Medusa Amulet Praise for The Mirror's Edge "Chicago native and resident Steven Sidor, author of the stellar macabre thrillers Skin River and Bone Factory, has outdone himself with The Mirror''s Edge, a supernatural-nuanced, soul-chilling mystery Powered by a sublime sense of foreboding and an ominous, phantasmagoric ambiance reminiscent of works by Aleister Crowley and H.P. Lovecraft. Comparable novels have been mainstays on national best-seller lists (Scott Smith''s The Ruins and Joe Schreiber''s Chasing the Dead, for example), but The Mirror''s Edge blows them all away in terms of fright factor and overall quality of narrative. Crime fiction and horror fans alike will find The Mirror''s Edge a dark, disturbing gem." - Chicago Tribune "Bone-chilling Sidor is a master of the unsettling, and each twist is more grisly and unexpected than the last. Readers won''t be able to resist staying up all night to finish this haunting tale." - Publishers Weekly "Compelling and chilling, The Mirror's Edge delivers everything a reader could want-strong characters, driving narrative, and the edge-of-your-seat suspense. Unconventional and challenging, yet engaging and very human, it is a wonderful novel from a talented writer." --David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of The Shimmer Praise for Bone Factory "Frank Miller''s Sin City has nothing on Booth City... This tale is a dark classic by an author with a long career ahead of him." -- Rocky Mountain News "Sidor proved in his well-received first novel, Skin River , that he knows a thing or two about deviant human behavior. Now he delivers an equally laudable mystery about two homicide detectives, set in the fictional midwestern town of Booth City, that delves even deeper into the darker reaches of the criminal mind." - Publishers Weekly "It''s a hard-boiled world, presented in a brisk, brutal shorthand as tough as its subject." - The Providence Journal "Sidor is a prince of darkness, steeped in the noir tradition and not giving an inch. That said, he is also bountifully talented." Kirkus Reviews Praise for Skin River "Take note, and you may see a star in the making." -- Kirkus Reviews "A fast-paced crime debut. The salty prose and clever narration will keep readers hooked." -- Publishers Weekly "You can''t get creepier than this. Exquisitely plotted, with a well-realized main character." -- Booklist "Unforgetable, spellbinding, and darkly suspenseful. Sidor must have sold his soul to the devil to write this well." Steve Hamilton, author of Misery Bay "Dark, harrowing, and unpredictable as a run of dangerous river. Sidor plunges you into chilling waters on page one and barely lets you up for air." Gregg Hurwitz, author of They're Watching
