Rovers Audiobook

Quotes

• A swift, delicious novel that’s firing on all cylinders… The book has a lot going on, with as many settings as characters, propelled by the jet fuel of resentments, assassinations-for-hire, mistakes, and love affairs. Lange balances it all perfectly. There are a few amazing fights too.

  — Carolyn Kellogg, Los Angeles Times

• Outstanding supernatural noir... Evocative prose illuminates the neon-lit world of small-town 1970s America. Lange succeeds brilliantly at combining the vampire and noir traditions.

  — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

• Rovers is a lean, mean pulp masterpiece of American horror. I was blown away. Richard Lange is the real deal.

  — Joe Hill, author of Locke & Key and Nos4a2

• Rovers is a gritty and vivid encounter with the creatures that haunt the underbelly of Americana. Lange utilizes his immense skill with prose and characters to create a dynamic and visceral page-turner. I devoured this book!

  — Zoje Stage, author of Baby Teeth and Wonderland

• The gone world of the 1970s goes beautifully, terrifyingly and oh so satisfyingly bad in this new one by Richard Lange. Propulsive, intense, smart and stylish, Rovers is high-octane, full-throttle, keep-your-hands-off-that-lightswitch stuff.

  — Laird Hunt, author of In the House in the Dark of the Woods and Neverhome

• Rovers is not your ordinary vampire novel. Richard Lange has written a gritty, dusty, dirty, and sweaty thriller that reeks of blood and fear. Rovers is a hardcore 1970s crime thriller—a bloody revenge story built on the brooding realization that even with eternal life and incredible healing power, existence and spirit are always fragile.

  — Raymond A. Villareal, author of A People’s History of the Vampire Uprising

• Rovers is a dark gem of a book. A vampire novel by way of John Steinbeck and Sam Peckinpah. Riveting and relentless.

  — Wallace Stroby, author of Heaven's a Lie

• Reading Rovers was like going on a three-day bender: once I got started, I couldn't stop. Rovers is a bleak, gritty, violent, and mostly tender portrayal of life as an outsider that happens to be about vampires. The writing is equal to the story: achingly beautiful, by turns inspiring and devastating.

  — Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger and The Deep

• A propulsive, harrowing and soulful tale of vengeance and redemption, love and loss, the undead and mortals. Rovers moves in the shadows and rips through the darkest hours on choppers and over open highways, in dive bars and deserts. The momentum of the story is undeniable, but the impulse to linger under the spell cast by Lange's gifts with language is powerful and to be savored.

  — Joe McGinnis, Jr., author of The Delivery Man
