BOOK REVIEWS
"This book should be savored like fine wine."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Roman Dusk "Quinn Yarbro is one of our finest writers and craftpersons, incapable of a slack paragraph, or a fuzzy thought. Everything is perfectly focused, everything is expertly accomplished. The Count remains a vibrantly original character, one of the greatest contributions to the horror genre."--Peter Straub
