Cullen Gallagher at Pulp Serenade

Cullen delivers a gorgeously written review of the ole' Bastard thingie I wrote. It's here at Pulp Serenade.

Jed Ayre's on the Wicked Preacher Man

The Bastard Hand inspired Jed Ayres to start a great list of bad guy preachers over at Ransom Notes. The Good Reverend Phinneas Childe is only the latest in a loooong list of wicked Men o'Gawd.
Props especially for Harry Powell of Night of the Hunter, and Sam Springer of Black Mass of Brother Springer.

Lynn Kostoff on The Bastard Hand

Lynn Kostoff is one of our modern noir heroes. The author of The Long Fall, Choice of Nightmares, and Late Rain took the time to read The Bastard Hand and had some very nice things to say about it:

"Like Charles Willeford's BLACK MASS OF BROTHER SPRINGER, Heath Lowrance in THE BASTARD HAND takes comfortable and conventional notions of religion, filters them through a pulp sensibility, and then renders both of them beautifully in a literary and page-turning style. Heath Lowrance and New Pulp Press deliver on this one. Get your hands, Bastard or otherwise, on this novel. You won't regret it."

Thanks, Lynn!
