Description: "Simply put, Daniel Jos Older has one of the most refreshing voices in genre fiction today."-Saladin Ahmed "A damn good read. All the best dark urban fantasies are about matters of life and death. Half-Resurrection Blues takes that to the limit. A hard-core, hard-driving fantasy, following the adventures of a most singular man who is both dead and alive and tasked with solving the problems of the dead and the living and everything in between. Except, of course, nothing is ever that simple. Daniel Jos Older takes aim at a whole bunch of familiar targets, and hits them hard in new and interesting ways."- New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green "Older has crafted a compelling new world in which the spirits that we sense lurking behind each monument are alive and well and the gatekeepers between the living and the dead may not have our best interests at heart. There's love and pain and fear and a deeply unsettling mystery that will keep you up at night. Half-Resurrection Blues is not just a daring new mode of ghost-detective story; it's also a courageous effort to celebrate the diverse voices that surround us. This is the New York of Puerto Ricans, Trinis, Haitians, and Yemenites. These are the people who don't make it into the movies, playing out their lives with agency in a riveting tale. And everyone must band together to stop the malevolent spirits that haunt the world of the living."-Deji Bryce Olukotun, author of Nigerians in Space "In Half-Resurrection Blues , Older has created Noir for the Now: equal parts bracing, poignant, compassionate, and eerie. A swinging blues indeed."-Nalo Hopkinson, Nebula Awardwinning author of Sister Mine
