Advance Praise
“Queen Victoria: Demon Hunter is
vast fun. It’s a freewheeling account of Great Britain under siege by
succubi, zombies and various other of Lucifer’s minions, all nicely
turned out in frock coats and crinolines. Moorat crowds so many
characters—historical, fictional, supernatural—onto his Victorian stage
that the effect is that of a lost Gilbert and Sullivan operetta written
under the influence of opium, absinthe and black pudding.” —The Washington Post
“Moorat
infuses his tale with enough bravura and over-the-top action to lift it
above a horde of similar projects; readers able to stomach the
deliriously bloody goings-on will find plenty to enjoy.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review and “Pick of the Week”
“Gory, inventive and fun.” —The Bookseller (London)
“
Wildly entertaining. Moorat’s story rises above mere gimmick thanks to
hearty amounts of English history, all given supernatural twists.” —The Los Angeles Times
