Paul in Wonderland

Hard to believe, but the follow-up to Paul Tremblay’s wonderful first novel, THE LITTLE SLEEP (Holt), has already hit the shelves. Seems like only yesterday that THE LITTLE SLEEP came out, but here it is a year later already and I was delighted to find NO SLEEP TILL WONDERLAND, featuring the first novel’s narcoleptic detective Mark Genevich, in my local bookstore (and further delighted to find myself in the acknowledgements). Another eye-catching, dizzying cover design, too (though it’s hard to top that first one). I’m anxious to dive into this. I loved the first book’s wisecrack-a-second narrative, and Genevich is a memorable character indeed (complex, self-doubting, a very human fuck-up – not at all your cocky, confident, gun-blazin’ pulp fiction private eye).

THE LITTLE SLEEP is a finalist for this year’s Bram Stoker Award for best first novel, by the way…but then, so is SOLOMON”s GRAVE by another good friend of mine, Daniel G. Keohane. Ack! Well, I guess a tie would be the best outcome.

And you know what — if you like Tremblay then you must, MUST read his brilliant novella THE HARLEQUIN AND THE TRAIN, published by myself and Nick Curtis (also thanked in Paul’s acknowledgements) through our Necropolitan Press. Just look at Nick’s fantastic cover design, below (read the book and you’ll understand it):
