Cold in July has been selected to compete at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Variety ran a feature article:

From the article: "One of the fest’s more unusual trends is the number of veteran actors in substantial roles, [festival director John Cooper] said, singling out Sam Shepard and Glenn Close for their performances in 'Cold in July' and 'Low Down,' respectively, as well as Susan Sarandon in 'Ping Pong Summer.'"

“Reading Cold in July is like riding a rocket. As you roar off into Lansdale’s disturbing vision of the world, it bucks and turns under you, constantly swerving in unexpected directions. And you’d better not plan on doing anything else until the ride is over.”
—Lewis Shiner

“Cold in July is more than a novel of detection; it is an odyssey into the dark recesses of the human psyche and those who follow it cannot come away unchanged.”
—Loren D. Estleman

“I can’t think of a more remarkable suspense novel in the past few years. Cold in July has it all — a story you haven’t read before, characters who linger in the mind, and surprise piled on surprise. This is the kind of book other writers talk about — enviously.”
—Ed Gorman
